ISO 15024 is the test method for the Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 15024 Covers
It measures the Mode I fracture toughness (G_IC), the energy to propagate an opening delamination, a central damage-tolerance property.
How the Test Is Run
A double-cantilever-beam specimen with a starter crack is loaded to open the crack while load, displacement, and crack growth are recorded, and G_IC is calculated.
Why It Matters
Mode I toughness underpins composite damage tolerance; accurate load, displacement, and crack tracking are required.
