It is well-known that fiber reinforced composites made from glass-fibers are susceptible to both ageing effects and failure under constant loads (creep-rupture), particularly when exposed to water environments. There are very few experimental studies, however, which have dealt explicitly with the effect of exposure period (ageing) on the resulting creep-rupture response. Understanding this effect is particularly important when dealing with applications which are either delayed in entering full service or are being re-commissioned after some period of dormancy. In the current study, a preliminary examination is made to determine the influence of pre-conditioning period on the resulting time-to-failure curves for a glass-fiber reinforced epoxy system exposed to a water environment. Moisture absorption behavior and resulting failure characteristics are presented.
