AITM 1-0008 Compression Testing of Composite Laminates
AITM 1-0008 is an Airbus Test Method for the compression testing of fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminates, covering plain (unnotched) and notched configurations used in aerospace qualification. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What AITM1-0008 Covers
It determines the compressive strength and stiffness of composite laminates per the Airbus procedure, in both unnotched (plain) and notched forms, to qualify materials and processes for aircraft structures.
How the Test Is Run
A coupon, plain or notched as specified, is loaded in an anti-buckling compression fixture at a controlled rate with strain measurement to confirm no buckling, and the compressive properties are calculated.
Why It Matters
Compressive behaviour and stability strongly influence composite laminate performance; an anti-buckling compression fixture and accurate strain measurement are essential.
