ASTM D7137 is a test method that measures the compression will residual strength properties of multidirectional polymer matrix composite laminated plates, which have had been subjected to quasi - static indentation
Susceptibility to damage from concentrated the out - of - plane forces is one of the major design concerns of the advanced composite laminates. The damage to hold the and damage how the properties that are derived from this test are useful for product development and material selection.
Before conducting ASTM D7137, it is important to read the - specification. The Standards can be obtained from the appropriate standard authorities.
