This publication, Composite Materials: Testing, Design, and Acceptance Criteria, contains papers presented at the symposium of the same name held in March, 2001. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM International Committee D30 on Composite Materials.
Specific topics addressed in the papers published here include:
- static indentation-impact comparisons
- thermographic evaluation
- quasi-static transverse indentation
- continuous glass fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (GFRT)
- multi-axial methodology for reliability and lifetime predictions
- composite tube test method
- three-dimensional braided components
- micro-mechanics
- coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE)
- interlaminar failure
- laminated Carbon Fiber Composite (CFC) panels
- fiber-reinforced composite compression specimens
- compression testing
- combined loading
- composite pressure test boxes
- specimen optimization
This STP is useful for engineers and researchers testing composite materials or using composites for applications such as aerospace, automotive, military equipment, recreation, and consumer products.
