Compressive Test of CarbonFiber Reinforced plastic (JIS K7018 and ASTM D3410) - Evaluation of Temperature Dependent In-Plane Compressive Properties of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic

User Benefits

- Provides a simple method for evaluating the compression properties of composite materials. - Enables measurement based on ASTM D3410.

Introduction

Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) has high specific strength and stiffness in comparison with conventional materials and has attracted considerable interest for weight reduction of transportation equipment, but it is difficult to design products by CAE analysis due to the anisotropy and complex structure of CFRP. To overcome this problem and improve design accuracy, an accurate understanding of various mechanical properties such as compressive properties is necessary. This article introduces an example in which the in-plane compressive property of a thermosetting type CFRP was evaluated based on ASTM D3410 (common name: IITRI method) using a Shimadzu Autograph AGX-V precision universal testing machine .
