A new ASTM International standard will help test “sandwich” panels, which are flat, lightweight, durable products often used in the cabin floors and other areas of airplanes. The new standard (soon to be published as D8067, Test Method for In-Plane Shear Properties of Sandwich Panels Using a Picture Frame Fixture) was developed by the Committee on Composite Materials ( D30 ). Specifically, the…, ASTM Committee D30 on Composite Materials Next Meeting:, March 20-24, 2017, Salt Lake City, Utah, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Stephen H.

Maybe you haven’t given much thought to the growth of interlaminar cracks, or cracks in between layers, in laminated composite materials. Perhaps you should though, because such materials are everywhere and interlaminar cracks can cause serious damage to many types of structures and products, from sports equipment to spacecraft. This is why a new ASTM standard, D7905/D7905M , Test Method for…, Technical Contact:, Barry D.
