Astm C364 - C364M Testing Fixture

This document provides information on ASTM C364/C364M, a standard test method for determining the edgewise compressive strength of sandwich constructions. The test method involves compressing short sandwich construction specimens to determine their load-carrying capacity in terms of developed facing stress. When reporting results of this test, factors like materials, fabrication methods, specimen dimensions, and failure mode should be included to provide relevant details on the edgewise compressive strength.

ASTM C364 / C364M TESTING FIXTURE

EDGEWISE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SANDWICH CONSTRUCTIONS

ASTM C364 / C364M Testing Fixture – Application

The edgewise compressive strength of short sandwich construction specimens shall determine the load-carrying
capacity of the construction in terms of developed facing stress. This is a standard method of obtaining sandwich
edgewise compressive strengths for panel design properties, material specifications, research and development
applications, and quality assurance.

The request of items, for the reporting section, that can influence edgewise compressive strength to be reported ;
these include materials, fabrication method, facesheet lay-up orientation (if composite), core orientation, results of
any nondestructive inspections, specimen preparation, specimen dimensions and associated measurement accuracy,
speed of testing, failure mode, and failure location.

This test method covers the compressive properties of structural sandwich construction in a direction parallel to the
sandwich facing plane.

The values are stated in either SI units or inch-pound units and the text the inch-pound units shown in bracket. Each
system must be used independently of the other. In fact, combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with the standard.
