EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D5528 standard. This test method describes the determination of the Mode I interlayer fracture toughness, opening G Ic, of continuous fiber reinforced composite materials using a double cantilever beam (DCB) sample.
This test method is limited to use with composites consisting of unidirectional carbon fiber and glass fiber tape laminates with brittle and rigid single-phase polymer matrices. This limited scope reflects experience gained in loop testing. This test method may be useful for other types and classes of composite materials; however, some interference was noted.
Values stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values in parentheses are for informational purposes only.
This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
