Funding source

EMBRAER/FAPESP research project entitled A numerical and experimental study on delamination in composites.

Description

To better understand the anisotropic behavior of composites a series of standards and non-standardized tests are required. The Laboratory of Structures at ITA has a complete testing facility for this purpose including servo-hydraulic testing machines, data acquisition systems, test jigs for delamination, CAI, Impact testing.
