Abstract
This work investigates influence of cavitation m the tank on mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced polymers R-134a used as pressure-liquefied gas at 273 K was boiled by instantaneous depressurization. A compressor was used to re-liquefy boil-off gas and to achieve a cyclic liquid-vapor condition. Specimens of glass fiber reinforced polymers (GFRP) were immersed in the cyclic condition. After laser immersion, scanning laser micrographs showed microcrack development short-beam three-point bending tests were performed m accordance with JIS K 7057 to evaluate the influence of the boiling condition on interlaminar shear strength of GFRP.
