Some time ago I read a paper which discussed the relationship between ILSS and tensile strength in that to a certain extent ILSS goes down as tensile strength goes up and vice versa. Can't remember the exact content now and so I'd like to re-read it but I can't find it. Does anyone know of a...
I have to carry out tensile testing at 210°C. The maximum cure temperature of my composite will have been 240°C.
Can anyone recommend a good adhesive for bonding tabs and testing at this temperature?

Anyone have any idea what (if any) damage or degradation is caused by water jet cutting of monolithic composite plates? Water jet cutting is being suggested by some people for cutting of test specimens but I am concerned about the idea of blasting high pressure water at a composite.
Does it...
I have to perform some hot/wet testing of compression strength after impact specimens and would appreciate opinions on when the damage should take place. Should it be before or after conditioning? What is the most common choice? Its something that is hard to find answers to.
This is pretty...
If using a standard (+45,0,-45,90)3$ lay up for a QI test specimen (made from UD prepreg), what difference in compressive strength could I expect to see (if any) if I cut some of my test specimens so that the centre plies are at 0° and the others so that the centre plies are at 90°? If there is...
