Carbon Fiber Failure Test - 0 degree orientation

this looks like a grip tab failure and not a xplosive guage middle failure as per astm 3039D.

where's the explosion?

sorry, your right, that doesn't make much sense. I believe that 48 kN was the failure load, but I am still waiting on the actual results. Thanks for catching that; I'll correct it as soon as I receive the experimental data.

Ts was 48kN??? What was the cross sectional area? Tensile Strength is measured in force per unit area...
