- This paper investigates the physical and mechanical behaviours of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites under simultaneous exposure of elevated temperature and large hydrostatic pressure, for short term (one month) as well as for long term (three months). The methodological approach developed in this study brings significant advancements in realising the underlying problems which are often neglected in widely used classical laminate theory. It appears that the effects of hygrothermal stresses for CFRP have not been investigated extensively prior to this study.
