Abstract
Tests have been conducted on stressed and unstressed fibre bundles under attack by aqueous hydrochloric acid of various concentrations. Without an applied stress, fibre weakening occurs at long times by core-sheath development. With an applied stress, failure occurs more rapidly, following a fatigue law with an exponent that is a function of acid concentration. The value of this exponent and the time required for bundle failure are in agreement with data obtained from experiments on the stress corrosion of composites.
