Name of the Test

Type of Test

Outcome/Observation

Wear and Tear

Ø Investigate performance properties for long-term usage of the material.

Tensile Strength & Modulus Test

Shear

Ø Max. load required to shear.

Flatwise Tensile Test

Ø Measure the adhesive bond strength.

Strength Test

Flexural Strength Test & Modulus Test

Ø Determine the flexibility of the specimen under load to prevent deformation.

Ø Measure the stress experienced by the materials at the failure moment.

Material Construction Tests

Ø Analyze construction issues (adhesive bond strength, resistance to deformation under load, exposure to moisture).

Edge Bearing Test

Ø Determine the bearing strength of fasteners in a laminate under tension loading.

Impact (Puncture) Test

Ø Measure the ability of materials to resist puncture, withstand shock loading and fractures during shock loading.
