A model describing the stiffness-temperature relationship of polymers was recently developed1,2. The present paper focuses on the integration of this model into classical lamination theory3. The computer simulations revealed that the stresses in off axis laminates are non-monotonic when temperature increases, i.e., continuous fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites seem to behave as thermally activated mechanical switches.
