ISO 12817 specifies the test method to determine the open-hole compressive strength of laminated fibre-reinforced plastic composites. The laminate is intended to be a balanced and symmetrical lay-up or be otherwise homogeneous through the thickness. ISO 12817 includes three methods: method 1 (short specimen with support fixture); method 2 (short specimen without support fixture); method 3 (long specimen with support fixture).
