behaviour of fiber reinforced composites. Testing Procedure 1. Prepare Hexcell fiber reinforced composites for bend testing 2. Select the strain rate following ASTM standard for fiber reinforced composites testing 3. Input specimen dimensions 4. Fix specimen in the apparatus 5. Perform test following ASTM standard 6. Observe the failure modes for the composites Results
The Instron Tensile Tester and Testing Apparatus Observations Samples failed somewhat between a ductile and brittle failure as fibers individually failed brittle at different stresses creating the illusion of ductility.
