Stress rupture of unidirectional polymer matrix composites in bending at elevated temperatures

<p>A new method for stress-rupture experiments in bending has been developed and used to characterize unidirectional polymer matrix composites. The method. which makes use of very simple fixtures, led to coherent results. These results have been modeled using the large deflection of buckled ba...
