A lignin composite reinforced with 30% flax fibers at two levels of relative humidity, 34 and 66%, was used in this study. The nonlinearity of the composite was analyzed by studying the degradation of its modulus and the development of viscoelastic and viscoplastic strains. The reduction in the modulus of lignin-based composites in tension starts before the maximum in the stress–strain curve is reached...
