The second symposium on High Temperature and Environmental Effects on Polymeric Composites was organized to address current research in a specialized and important area that is attracting international attention. The topics covered in the symposium represent state-of-the-art research from branches of materials science and mechanics of materials that range across the engineering disciplines from aerospace to civil. This diversity is due not only to the wide use of polymeric composites in today`s world but also the tendency of manufacturers and designers to continue to expand the design envelope of these advanced materials. It is expected that this volume will provide information of use to those involved in the structural use of advanced polymeric composites for infrastructure, marine applications, and aerospace vehicles. Results are presented for research in: durability analysis procedures, moisture effects, time-dependent and fatigue behavior, long-term aging and degradation studies. Many of the papers combine analytical and experimental results while several of them rely on experimental studies to advance their research results. Papers have been processed separately for inclusion on the database.
