Abstract
The effect of the fixture's boundary conditions on the thermo-mechanical behavior of a flax/polypropylene composite sample during the bias extension test is evaluated in this paper. For this aim, two finite element models are developed in ABAQUS with and without the fixture. The developed numerical models are linked with the applied temperature and measured load during the bias extension test. The stress-strain distributions are compared in the developed models to assess the effect of model simplification.
