Abstract

The change in the set of deformation-strength parameters of carbon fiber reinforced plastics during aging under real operating conditions is accompanied by an irreversible change in their thermal expansion. In the first part of the work, the effect of temperature, thermal cycles, humidity, solar radiation, mechanical loads and other external factors on the coefficients of linear thermal expansion of reinforcing fillers, thermosetting polymers, unidirectional carbon fiber in the reinforcement direction, in the transverse direction and perpendicular to the reinforcement plane is considered.
