Expert Commentary
Known as the Short-Beam Strength (SBS) of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials. This determines the Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS). It utilizes a 3-point bend setup on a very short span. The goal is to induce a shear failure between the composite plies rather than a flexural failure. MTO’s SBS fixtures feature adjustable spans and floating rollers to accommodate various laminate thicknesses. Our software includes the ILSS Calculation module, which is a key lead driver for aerospace and wind-blade composite manufacturers.
