Module 8: Composite Testing
  Lecture 37: Tensile and Compressive Testing
 

Introduction


In the previous lecture we have introduced the method to assess the quality of the composite and methods to measure the physical properties like density, volume fractions, void content and moisture content. In the lecture we will introduce some methods used for mechanical property characterization.
