ASTM D6115 determines the number of cycles (N) for the onset of delamination growth based on the opening mode I cyclic strain energy release rate (G), using a Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimen. ASTM D6115 applies to constant amplitude, tension-tension fatigue loading of continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials.
By means of our testing expertise and modular product design, we will help find the solution that is right for you. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to ASTM D6115.
