Astm D2344 Testing Fixture

This system establishes the short-beam strength of reinforced composite materials with high modulus by loading a short beam specimen machined from a curved plate in three-point bending. The test method is limited to fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites with balanced and symmetric elastic properties along the beam axis.

ASTM D2344 TESTING FIXTURE

SHORT-BEAM STRENGTH OF POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND THEIR LAMINATES

ASTM D2344 Testing Fixture

This system establishes the short-beam strength of reinforced composite materials with high modulus. The specimen
is a short beam machined from a curve or a plate rolled up to 6,00 mm [0.25 in.] thick. The beam is loaded in three-
point bending. Application of this test method is limited to continuous- or discontinuous-fiber-reinforced polymer
matrix composites, for which the elastic properties are balanced and symmetric with respect to the longitudinal axis of
the beam.
