Fibre-reinforced plastic composites — Determination of laminate through-thickness properties — Part 1: Direct tension and compression tests
Three specimen types are described in this document. These are:
— Type I - fixed rectangular cross-section along length of specimen. It is the preferred specimen for determining elastic properties.
— Type II - waisted rectangular cross-section, variable cross-section along length of specimen. It is only suitable for determining tensile strength values and is the preferred specimen for highly anisotropic and thermoplastic materials.
— Type III - waisted rectangular cross-section, fixed cross-section along the gauge-length of specimen. It is used to provide both elastic and strength property data and is the preferred specimen for generating a full stress-strain response.
Specimen types I and II are also suitable for use with unreinforced plastics but are unsuitable for use with rigid cellular materials and sandwich structures containing cellular materials.
Two testing modes are covered:
— Method A – Tension
— Method B – Compression
