The dependence of the transverse (through-the-thickness) diffusivity of unidirectional AS/3501-5 graphite/epoxy composite on temperature is given in Figure 5.11. For a temperature of 77°C and a thickness of 2.54 mm, use the results from Figure 5.11 and Problem 5.2 to estimate the time required for this material to reach 99.9% of its fully saturated equilibrium moisture content from an initially dry condition. Compare your estimate with the experimental data in Figure 5.12. Does the estimate seem to be reasonable?
