In the present work we explore the possibility of employing 0/90 unsymmetric plates as a tool to measure damage in composite materials under thermal stress. The behaviour of 0/90 plates under such loads is investigated in the presence of diffuse damage, whose description is given by micromechanics-based models. The thermal induced plate deformations can be quantitatively related to adequate damage indicators and, being measurable parameters, can explicitly assess its magnitude and its possible evolution.

Abstract
In the present work we explore the possibility of employing 0/90 unsymmetric plates as a tool to measure damage in composite materials under thermal stress. The behaviour of 0/90 plates under such loads is investigated in the presence of diffuse damage, whose description is given by micromechanics-based models. The thermal induced plate deformations can be quantitatively related to adequate damage indicators and, being measurable parameters, can explicitly assess its magnitude and its possible evolution.File in questo prodotto:
