Understanding the influence of combined relative humidity and elevated temperature on the performance of advanced polymer matrix composite structures is a matter of pacing importance to the Air Force in the development of future innovative structures. Degradation of structural strength and durability must be predictable if advanced composites are to be widely accepted as an alternate material in aerospace structural design. These Transactions are the result of a Workshop which discussed the state-of-the-art in both Polymer Chemistry and Mechanics research dealing with the effects of relative humidity and elevated temperature on composite structures. In addition, pacing research topics were identified which must be addressed in the future if the goal of aerospace structural applications with advanced composites is to be achieved.
