Abstract (EN): An inverse approach combining numerical and experimental results with full-field displacement measurements, will allow the identification of all the in-plane elastic properties from experimental tests. The off-axis tensile test was chosen, and in order to calibrate the numerical method a 8-harness satin weave glass fiber reinforced phenolic composite was selected. Instead the use of a non-destructive technique an alternative hybrid approach is proposed to obtain the field displacement. In this way a reference displacement field is generated by finite element method considering the loading and boundary conditions used in tensile tests and the mechanical properties obtained from experiments.
