Standard
Description
ASTM D3410

This test method determines the in-plane compressive properties of polymer matrix composite materials reinforced by high-modulus fibers. 
ASTM D3518

This practice determines the in-plane shear response of polymer matrix composite materials reinforced by high-modulus fibers. The composite material form is limited to a continuous-fiber reinforced composite +45° laminate capable of being tension tested in the laminate chi-direction. 
ASTM D3552

This test method covers the determination of the tensile properties of metal matrix composites reinforced by continuous and discontinuous high-modulus fibers. Nontraditional metal matrix composites as stated in also are covered in this test method. 
ASTM D5467   This test method covers the in-plane compressive properties of polymer matrix composite materials reinforced by high-modulus fibers in a sandwich beam configuration. 
ASTM D5766
  This test method determines the open hole tensile strength of multidirectional polymer matrix composite laminates reinforced by high-modulus fibers. 
ASTM D6641   This test method establishes a procedure for determining the compressive strength and stiffness properties of polymer matrix composite materials using a combined loading compression or comparable test fixture. 
ASTM F1276
  This test method provides a means of measuring the amount of creep relaxation of a laminated composite gasket material at a predetermined time after a compressive stress has been applied.
