This video from ADMET shows the basics of conducting ASTM D695 rigid plastic compression testing. ASTM D695 covers mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced rigid plastics during ...

Compression tests are used to characterize various compressive properties such as the compression modulus and compressive strength. They are performed on fiber-reinforced composites with ...

ABSTRACT: A new compressive testing apparatus is developed and used in this research. It has long gauge length to allow digital image correlation monitoring and anti buckling guides to prevent ...

ABSTRACT: The longitudinal compressive failure of a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) was studied using multiple-fiber model composites. Aligned carbon fibers were embedded in an ...
