This work is a continuation of the research recently presented in [1] and [2] on the determination of residual thermal stresses in graphite/polyimide composites with and without externally applied bending loads. In the previous work [1, 2] a combined experimental and numerical methodology for the determination of the residual stresses in unidirectional graphite/PMR-15 composites based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of residual strains in embedded aluminum (Al) and silver (Ag) inclusions has been presented. In this research, the previously developed approach has been applied to evaluate the residual thermal interlaminar stresses in an 8 harness satin (8HS) woven graphite/PMR-15 composite. First, residual thermal stresses have been measured by XRD in aluminum inclusions embedded between the rst and second plies of a four-ply 8HS woven graphite/PMR-15 composite. The measurements have been conducted with the composite specimens subjected to four-point bending deformations. Second, viscoelastic computations of interlaminar residual stresses in the composite have been performed using classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) following the manufacturing procedure. Third, the residual strains and stresses in the inclusions have been numerically predicted using the viscoelastic Eshelby model for multiple spherical inclusions. Finally, the interlaminar residual stresses in the composite have been extracted from the XRD strains in the Al inclusions, again using the viscoelastic Eshelby model, and
