Fibre-reinforced plastic composites - Determination of flexural properties
Material
Publisher
In our laboratory, testing in accordance with standard DIN EN ISO 14125 is carried out using an accredited procedure. The standard describes the determination of the flexural properties of fibre-reinforced plastics by means of three-point or four-point bending tests under static loading. Parameters such as flexural strength, flexural modulus, deflection, and failure behavior are determined.
The test allows a differentiated assessment of the mechanical behavior of fibre-reinforced composite materials as a function of fibre type, fibre content, and laminate lay-up. The resulting characteristic values are suitable for material characterization, component design, and quality monitoring. Typical applications include lightweight construction, automotive engineering, plant and mechanical engineering, as well as structural components made of glass- or carbon-fibre-reinforced plastics.
