AITM 1-0006 is an Airbus Test Method for the Mode II (in-plane shear) interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What AITM 1-0006 Covers
It determines the Mode II fracture toughness of composites per the Airbus procedure, characterizing resistance to shear-driven delamination for aircraft structures.
How the Test Is Run
An end-notched flexure specimen with a starter crack is loaded so the crack grows under shear, and the toughness is calculated from the load and crack length.
