Abstract
An experimental investigation is described of the effects of moisture and a polar solvent upon the changes in the axial dimensions of composite tubes fabricated with S‐glass and an epoxy resin. Test parameters included different axial stress levels, sorption variations, and changes in the short‐beam shear strength with moisture variations. Several wetting and drying cycles were used to establish the reproducibility and reversible characteristics of the observed dimensional changes. Test results are compared and discussed with findings reported by other investigators.
