Pultruded glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are applied in
various industrial sectors due to their good mechanical strength, low specific
weight, and high resistance to corrosion. Exposure to aggressive environments has
become an increasingly studied topic for these materials, such as immersion in
water, conditioning under high relative humidity, low and high temperatures,
thermal and humid cycles, as well as the combination of these effects.
Understanding the effects of environment condition on material behavior is
essential to evaluate its performance and ensure the necessary safety for structural
design. In order to better understand the influence of environmental conditions on
the properties of GFRPs, the effects of temperature and humidity, as well as the
combined action of these two effects, on their physical, chemical, thermal, and
mechanical properties were studied. Important aspects that influence the material s
behavior were considered, such as the resin used, the degree of curing, and the
chemical and physical characteristics of the material. Experimental tests were
conducted under four environmental conditions: (i) exposure to moderate/high
temperatures (70 degrees C to 330 degrees C), (ii) immersion in deionized water (25 degrees C, 55 degrees C,
and 70 degrees C), (iii) exposure to salt spray in hygrothermal aging chambers (35 degrees C, 55
degrees C, and 70 degrees C), and (iv) exposure to real outdoor environment. In addition,
theoretical models were applied to evaluate the results. It was observed that
temperature, conditioning time, and moisture are predominant factors in material
behavior. Additionally, a important issue for the study of pultruded composites lies
in understanding the interlaminar properties of the material. In this context,
interlaminar fracture, associated with longitudinal cracks between the layers of the
material, is one of the main causes of failure in pultruded composites.
Consequently, mode II fracture analysis, which evaluates the mechanism of crack
propagation in the interlaminar plane, has been gaining ground in the study of
composite materials. Mode II fracture analysis is not trivial or standardized for
pultruded GFRP composites, so few data and effective conclusions have been
obtained in this regard so far. In order to fill this gap, an extensive experimental
investigation was carried out, culminating in the proposal of a new methodology
for evaluating mode II fracture in pultruded GFRPs.
