Compression Loading

ASTM C364 / C364M TESTING FIXTURE

ASTM C364 / C364M Testing Fixture – Application The edgewise compressive strength of short sandwich construction specimens shall determine the load-carrying capacity of the construction in terms of developed facing stress. This is a standard method of obtaining sandwich edgewise compressive strengths for panel design properties, material specifications, research and ...

ASTM D695 TESTING FIXTURE

ASTM D695 Testing Fixture This test method has the purpose of determining the mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced rigid plastics, including high-modulus composites, when loaded in compression at relatively low uniform rates of straining or loading. The test specimens employed are characterized of a standard shape. This fixture is used in ...

ASTM D3410 TESTING FIXTURE

ASTM D3410 Testing Fixture This method defines the compression properties in the plane of composite materials with polymer matrix reinforced with high modulus fibers. The composite material forms are limited to continuous or discontinuous fiber-reinforced composites. For this reason, the elastic properties are particularly orthotropic with respect to the test ...

ASTM D6641 TESTING FIXTURE

ASTM D6641 Testing Fixture This test method indicates the compression properties of strength and stiffness of composite materials with polymer matrix by means of a combined compression load. This type of testing can be applied to general composites that are balanced and symmetric. The specimen may be untabbed (Procedure A) ...
