Abstract
The results obtained in the parallel testing of the epoxy-glass composite specimen, using conventional mechanical methods and thermography, are presented. The tensile properties of composite were followed by thermography. The temperature changes on the tested sample were continuously recorded enabling the prediction of the critical stresses, which might cause the fractures and to define the criteria on the maximum sample temperature alteration in the field of the elastic and elastic-plastic deformation of investigated specimen.
Keywords: tension, thermography, fracture mechanics, glass-epoxy composite.
