ASTM D 8510/D 8510M:2023

1.1 This test method covers the local buckling and crippling stresses for one-edge-free and no-edge-free cross section configurations using solid laminate composite material construction. Design of test specimens is covered in Guide D8511/D8511M . A number of test parameters may be varied within the scope of the standard, provided that the parameters are fully documented in the test report. The composite material forms are limited to continuous-fiber or discontinuous-fiber (tape, fabric, braids or hybrids of these forms) reinforced composites. 1.2 This test method requires careful specimen design, instrumentation, data measurement and data analysis. The use of this test method requires close coordination between the test requestor and the test lab personnel. Test requestors need to be familiar with Guide D8511/D8511M and CMH-17 Volume 3 Chapter 9 2 ( 1 ) . 1.3 Units- The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined. 1.3.1 Within the text the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
