Abstract
A thermal–mechanical model is presented for calculating softening and failure of flammable sandwich composites under combined tension loading and one-sided unsteady-state heating by fire. The thermal model calculates the temperature rise of the sandwich composite when exposed to fire. The mechanical model computes the reduction to the tensile modulus and strength of the laminate face skins caused by thermal softening of the fibre reinforcement...
