* Rates varied slightly between test methods. Shear data were obtained from ±45 laminates tested at 2 mm/minute and sometimes at<br />

faster rates of about 6 mm/min after 2% strain.<br />

I.3.1.2 The following properties are listed according to Sec.4 [2.2]. Characteristic values are calculated<br />

according to Sec.4 [2.4].<br />

I.3.1.3 Data are based on a set of 6 measurements for each property, backed up by more than 50 measurements<br />

from production control.<br />

* The measured compressive strain at failure was 1.195% with a COV of 3.48%. A lower value was put in the table to allow easy<br />

linear ply analysis. A higher strain to failure can be used, but non-linear effects should be taken into account, i.e., drop of Young's<br />

modulus.<br />
