Composites will play an essential role in the development of ocean energy conversion systems, and their long term durability is critical to the success of these structures. Composites have been widely used in marine applications and in structures highly loaded in fatigue such as wind turbine blades. However, very few data are available to evaluate their performance under conditions which combine long term immersion in sea water and sustained cyclic loading. In this study composites reinforced with three different types of glass fibre and the same epoxy resin have been tested under these conditions, and the influence of aging on both static and fatigue behaviour has been quantified. Fibre type, resin and fibre/resin interface all influence the fatigue behaviour of these materials in sea water.
