A model is presented for predicting the changes in the mechanical properties of organic matrix composites exposed to elevated temperatures. The model can be used to calculate changes in the tensile, compressive and shear strengths and moduli as func tions of exposure time. The model also provides the decrease in the stress ratio with time and the time of failure.
