ASTM D2344 Short Beam Strength Test of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D2344 standard. ASTM D2344 is covered by Touchstone's NADCAP and ISO 17025. The ASTM D2344 test determines the apparent interlayer shear strength of parallel fiber reinforced plastics.

ASTM D2344 Short Beam Strength Test of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials

This test method specifies the use of a 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) diameter loading nose to apply a downward force to the center of the specimen until fracture. This is 1,3 mm (0,05 in/min.)

Samples are either small pieces cut from a ring or short beams cut from a flat laminate. They cannot be thicker than 6,4 mm (0,25 inches) for standard testing and their dimensions are calculated before each test. This ensures that results will be as accurate as possible.

However, the test method can be applied to thicker samples and Touchstone Engineers can perform both standard and customized tests. Samples can be conditioned at room temperature or high temperature depending on your application.

The number of test samples is arbitrary, but at least ten samples are needed to obtain a satisfactory average for a ring or laminate. The results can be useful for comparative analysis of composites and research and development of interply strength.
