The degradative effects of artificial seawater and distilled water immersion at 333 deg K on the mechanical properties (ILSS, compression strength) of BID glass/epoxy composite materials has been studied. Experimental results showed that the composite degradation trends were similar in both the media. It was found that the composite specimens exhibited a higher compressive and ILSS retention when immersed in the artificial seawater than when immersed in distilled water. This is attributed to the moisture absorption levels being higher in specimens immersed in distilled water than those immersed in artificial seawater. Further, it was found that the measured and predicted mechanical strength retention ratios (compression and ILSS) were in fairly good agreement with each other for both the immersion conditions.
