EN 2377 is the aerospace-series test method for the apparent interlaminar shear strength of glass-fibre-reinforced plastics. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 2377 Covers
It determines the apparent interlaminar shear strength of GFRP by short-beam bending under the aerospace framework.
How the Test Is Run
A short-span GFRP specimen is loaded in three-point bending until it fails, and the apparent ILSS is calculated from the peak load and cross-section.
Why It Matters
ILSS indicates interlaminar quality for aerospace GFRP; a rigid short-span fixture is required.
