STATUS AND SUMMARY OF TEST METHOD STANDARDIZATION OF ADVANCED COMPOSITES IN JAPAN

摘要

Standardization activities of test methods of composite mechanical properties in Japan are reviewed and summarized. Three methods, interlaminar shear by double notch compression, open hole compression and open hole tension are being standardized into JIS, Japan Industrial Standard. In the latter two items, different methods from the current de facto standards are proposed and evaluated. Proposal activities of composite test methods from Japan to ISO, International Standard Organization, are also reviewed.
