Cruciform Specimen Design for Biaxial Tensile Testing of SMC

Cruciform Specimen Design for Biaxial Tensile Testing of SMC

This paper presents an investigation of different cruciform specimen designs for the characterization of sheet molding compound (SMC) under biaxial loading. The considered material is a discontinuous glass fiber reinforced thermoset. We define various (material-specific) requirements for an optimal...
