EN 2377 Test Fixture

Description

EN 2377 – Aerospace Series – Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics

Determination of Apparent Interlaminar Shear Strength

 

EN 2377 defines a method for the determination of the apparent interlaminar shear strength by delamination of textile glass fibre reinforced plastics produced

in sheet form for aerospace use.

Test Method

Three-point flexure testing per EN 2377, is used to determine the apparent interlaminar shear strength of textile glass fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials.

The short-beam strength is of interest for screening materials or for quality control of composite materials.

The beam flexure test is performed by placing the specimen symmetrical on the support fixture that is mounted either to a servohydraulic or an electromechanical

testing machine.

The load is applied to the specimen at mid-span until interlaminar shear failure occurs.
