Abstract
The present experimental investigation aims to discover how mechanically fastened joints of glass fiber/epoxy composites were influenced by hot water immersion. Specimens were exposed to hot water at temperatures of 50, 70, and 90 °C for 1 and 2 weeks periods prior to the joint assembly and testing. Having conducted tensile tests, it was finally concluded that failure behavior of joints in aged specimens is strictly related to the temperature...
