10. BS EN ISO14130:1998 Fibre-reinforced plastic composites - Determination of apparent interlaminar shear strength by short-beam method BS EN ISO14130:1998 This International Standard specifies a procedure for determining the apparent interlaminar shear strength of fibre-reinforced plastic composites by the short-beam method.

11. BS EN ISO14130:1998 apparent interlaminar shear stress, the interlaminar shear stress acting on the neutral plane of the specimen apparent interlaminar shear strength, the value of the apparent interlaminar shear stress at failure or when the load reaches a maximum value

12. BS EN ISO14130:1998

13. BS EN ISO14130:1998 At least five test specimens shall be tested When it is not possible or not desirable to use the standard specimen, the following rules shall be observed:l = 10h, b = 5h Depending upon the material being tested, specimens of 2 mm thickness may fail by shear or experience compression failureunder load or exhibit extreme deflection without shear failure As specimen thickness (height) is increased, the probability ofcompression failure under load increases

15. BS ISO 15024:2001 Fibre-reinforced plastic composites — Determination of mode I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIC, for unidirectionally reinforced materials BS ISO 15024:2001 This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of mode I interlaminar fracture toughness (critical energy release rate), GIC, of unidirectional fibre-reinforced plastic composites using a double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen

16. BS ISO 15024:2001 mode I interlaminar fracture toughness critical energy release rate GICthe resistance to the initiation and propagation of a delamination crack in unidirectional fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite laminates under mode I opening load mode I crack opening the crack-opening mode due to a load applied perpendicular to the plane of delamination using the double cantilever beam specimen

17. BS ISO 15024:2001

18. BS ISO 15024:2001 Specimens

19. BS ISO 15024:2001 Specimens Other specimen thicknesses may be used, depending on the tensile modulus of elasticity and the anticipated interlaminar fracture toughness of the specimen. Other specimen widths between 15 mm and 30 mm may be used. Increasing the length of the specimen is not critical. However, shortening is not recommended because it will reduce the maximum delamination length that can be investigated and thus yield too few data points for the analysis A minimum number of five specimens shall be tested.
