AITM 1-0010 is the Airbus test method for determining compression strength after impact (CAI) of fibre-reinforced plastics for aerospace qualification. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What AITM 1-0010 Covers
The method impacts a composite panel and then compresses it to failure to measure the residual strength, per the Airbus procedure for qualifying composite materials and processes.
How CAI Is Performed
The laminate is impacted at a defined energy, the damage is characterized, and the panel is loaded in compression until failure, giving the compression-after-impact strength.
