Tensile and bending static tests were carried out on two laminate lay-ups (quasi-isotropic and cross-ply laminates), determining properties such as the mechanical strength, stiffness and strain to failure. The results show the changes in the mechanical behavior of this material at different test temperatures (20, −60 and −150 °C).application/pdfeng© ElsevierPolymer-matrix compositesStrengthMechanical testingLow temperatureresearch articleIngeniería MecánicaIngeniería Industrial10.1016/S1359-8368(02)00021-5open access
