This presentation summarizes recent activities in the Center for Advanced Materials and Structures at the University of Denver toward the development of experimental and computational methodologies to facilitate the analyses of failure/fracture mechanisms and residual thermal stresses in unidirectional and woven graphite/PMR-15 composites subjected to biaxial shear dominated loads. Over the last three years, both the losipescu and off axis tests have been applied to determine the mechanical response of unidirectional and woven graphite/polyimide composites. The most recent experimental and computational results are presented in this paper. In addition, a new methodology developed to evaluate residual thermal stresses in unidirectional and woven polymer matrix composites is demonstrated. This method is based on the X-ray diffraction measurements of residual strains inside metallic particles/inclusions embedded in the composites. Interlaminar residual stresses in unidirectional and woven graphite/polyimide composites are presented.
