Abstract
Processing procedures were developed for fabrication of thick unidirectional and crossply carbon/epoxy laminates as well as thick sections with intentional layer waviness. Fiber volume and void volume ratios were determined by means of digital image analysis method. The specimens were found to contain very low porosity (less than 1%). A simple fixture was used for testing prismatic compounds in the transverse to the fiber directions. A new fixture was designed and built for compression testing in general and especially in the longitudinal (fiber) direction. It is base on the concepts of both shear loading and end loading.
