AITM 1-0005 is an Airbus Test Method for the Mode I (opening) interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What AITM 1-0005 Covers
It determines the Mode I fracture toughness of composites per the Airbus procedure, characterizing resistance to opening delamination for aircraft structures.
How the Test Is Run
A double-cantilever-beam specimen with a starter crack is loaded to open the crack while load, displacement, and crack length are recorded, and the toughness is calculated.
