• In this study the response of IM7/5260 composites subjected to cyclic thermo-mechanical loading for loading times up to six months has been measured. In a previous paper it was shown that Schapery's non-linear theory when integrated with a functional viscoplastic model, allows predictions of the viscoelastic/ viscoplastic response for cyclic loading under isothermal conditions. In the present paper, the ability of these models to make long-term predictions for cyclic thermo-mechanical loading conditions is considered. Reasonable agreement between measured strains and predictions (to within 7%) is obtained for all laminates.
