This paper aims to propose a thermo-mechanical model to predict and evaluate the variation of mechanical and interlaminar fracture properties at elevated temperatures. Tensile, compression, and shear tests were conducted on glass fibre reinforced polymer composite while double-cantilever beam and en...
