Abstract

The climatic aging of composite aviation materials is analyzed. It is shown that changes in their mechanical properties are affected by the initial structural nonequilibrium of the binder and reinforcing fibers. A characteristic feature is the formation of a through-thickness gradient of sample properties at their exposure to natural climatic conditions.
