A Novel Testing Method for Measuring Through-Thickness Properties of Thick Composite Laminates

Abstract:

The investigation was concentrated on the through-thickness properties of thick-composite laminates, and the development of a novel test method and several specimens with two different shapes and three to four different sizes. The experiments were performed on thick composite specimens; and all through-thickness mechanical properties under compressive and tensile loading with their corresponding failure mechanisms were determined. Overall, the configuration of specimens and test method in this paper are efficient in obtaining the through-thickness properties of thick-composite laminates.
