The Combined Loading Compression (CLC) test method was standardized by ASTM in 2001, as ASTM D6641 1. During the past 10 years it has become the most-used compression test method for composite ...
Defects can occur naturally during composite fabrication, and damage can be induced by impacts in service, but these tend to be relatively uncontrolled events. It was desired to induce an easily ...
As the demands for light-weight composite structures for aerospace, ground transportation, and environmentally sustainable energy systems develop, so do the mechanical testing requirements for ...
Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...
