Combined Loading Compression (CLC) for composite materials
Test ID
M-209C
Description
This test is intended for measuring compression properties of polymer matrix composites. Specimens are clamped in a combined loading compression fixture, which maintains perfect axial alignment and prevents buckling of the composite material during the compression test. Strain is measured using non-contact extensometry.
Options
Standards
- ASTM D6641/D6641M
Data
Compressive Modulus, Compressive Strain at Yield, Compressive Strength at Yield, Engineering Compressive Stress-Strain Curves, Failure Type, Offset Yield Strain in Compression, Offset Yield Stress in Compression. This data appears in Matereality as Compressive Properties.
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 5
Samples

Application
This test is not intended to measure compressive modulus due to very short gauge lengths and inability to measure strains accurately in the gauge region. A modulus is provided, but this is for reference purposes only.
