BS EN 2377:1989 is a British Standard titled "Specification for glass fibre reinforced plastics. Test method. Determination of apparent interlaminar shear strength." This standard provides a method for determining the apparent interlaminar shear strength of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GRP). Glass fiber reinforced plastics, commonly known as fiberglass, are composite materials made of a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers. These materials are widely used in various applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and other desirable properties. Interlaminar shear strength refers to the ability of the material to resist shear forces between adjacent layers (or laminates) within the composite structure. This property is crucial for assessing the structural integrity and performance of GRP components. BS EN 2377:1989 likely outlines the following key aspects related to the determination of apparent interlaminar shear strength: Test Specimens: Specifications for preparing test specimens from GRP samples, including dimensions and preparation methods. Testing Apparatus: Description of the testing apparatus and equipment required for conducting the interlaminar shear strength test. Testing Procedure: Detailed step-by-step instructions for performing the test, including specimen preparation, loading conditions, and data recording methods. Calculation: Method for calculating the apparent interlaminar shear strength based on the test results. Reporting: Guidelines for reporting the test results, including any deviations from the standard procedure and relevant environmental conditions.
