ISO 14129 is the test method for the in-plane shear stress/shear strain response of fibre-reinforced composites using a +/-45 tension test. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 14129 Covers
It obtains the in-plane shear modulus and strength of a composite by pulling a +/-45 laminate in tension, the ISO route to shear properties.
How the Test Is Run
A +/-45 tabbed coupon is pulled in tension with axial and transverse strain measured, and the shear response is derived from the strains and the applied load.
Why It Matters
In-plane shear data is essential for composite design; two-direction strain measurement is required to derive the response.
