| Full Composites Testing Capabilities |
|
DatapointLabs announces expanded capability for the testing of structured composites, with the installation of a new 250 KN Instron UTM with environmental chamber and full video/DIC capability. The new NADCAP-compliant machine can perform tests over a -60C to 200C temperature range. It is capable of testing high strength materials, such as unidirectional (UD) and woven carbon fiber (CFRP) composites.
The addition of this equipment now provides a full complement of testing capabilities for composites, including tensile, compressive, shear, and open hole tests. Testing for dynamic mechanical properties of composites also is available, including cure behavior and volumetric capabilities.
The full list of relevant tests always can be found on our online Test Catalog:
- M-204C Tensile Stress-Strain, Strength, and Modulus for Composite Materials
- M-209 Combined Loading Compression (CLC)
- M-219 Shear Stress-Strain
- M-210 Compressive Stress-Strain, Strength and Modulus
- M-034 Short Beam Shear Strength
- M-050 Open Hole Tension (OHT)
- M-051 Open Hole Compression (OHC)
- D-027 Volumetric Cure Shrinkage
- M-041 Lap Shear Strength
- M-600 DMA—Tensile/Compressive (0.1-100 Hz)

- G-170 DIGIMAT MX Elastic eX-E
- G-173 DIGIMAT MX Elasto-plastic with Damage (EP+D)
- G-176 DIGIMAT MX Warpage (Thermomechanic)
- G-190 Altair Multiscale Designer for Unidirectional (UD) Composites
- G-706 Abaqus Orthotropic Composite
- G-794 LS-DYNA Laminated Composite Fabric (MAT_054)
