ISO 14130 (Short-beam): Apparent Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS) of Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Composites
ISO 14130 is the test method for the apparent interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of fibre-reinforced composites by short-beam loading. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 14130 Covers
It gives an apparent interlaminar shear strength by loading a short, thick beam in three-point bending so that shear between plies governs failure.
How the Test Is Run
A short-span 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
Apparent ILSS is a quick indicator of interlaminar bond quality; a rigid short-span fixture is required.
