Abstract
A novel approach for through-thickness compression testing of fabric reinforced polymers with specifically designed stiffness-adapted compression stamps is presented. Comprehensive numerical analyses of the compressive load application and the dimensioning of the compression stamps in relation to the specimen size have been performed. It is shown, that the developed through-thickness compression testing device with the adapted design of the novel compression stamps is best suitable, as higher compressive strengths of fabric reinforced polymers can be experimentally determined.
