Abstract

The present paper is a review of the main activities carried out within the context of the COMPTINN\" program, a joint research project founded by a FUI program (Fonds Unifiés Interministériels) in which four research teams focused on the thermo-oxidation behaviour of HTS-TACTIX carbon-epoxy composite at \"high\" temperatures (120oC-180oC). The scientific aim of the COMPTINN\" program was to better identify, with a multi-scale approach, the link between the physico-chemical mechanisms involved in thermo-oxidation phenomena, and to provide theoretical and numerical tools for predicting the mechanical behaviour of aged composite materials including damage onset and development.

Key Words
