Abstract
A technique is described for determining the mechanical properties of thick composite laminates. According to this technique the test specimens are cut out from thin sublaminates separated from the main laminate by porous Teflon sheets. Data are presented which show the usefulness of the method in measuring tensile, compressive and short beam shear properties, void contents and fiber volumes of laminates consisting of as many as 1000 plies.Keywords
