1963 Symposium Standards for Filament-Wound Reinforced Plastics, 1962 (Amer. Soc. Testing Materials STP 327) 17 In this method, a bending test is conducted with a short span to induce failure in horizontal (‘inter~laminar’) shear.
1964 Plastics Inst. Trans. & Jrnl. 32 292/2 Creep effects in the composite thus become limited principally to the resin interlaminar planes.
1966 K. L. Lowenstein in L. Holliday Composite Materials v. 200 The consensus of opinion is that failure [of composites] occurs by interlaminar shear, i.e. fracture of resin between reinforcing fibres followed, as a secondary step, by the fracture of individual fibres themselves.
1971 New Scientist 8 July 70/1 Composites of [carbon] fibres in resin having the expected high tensile strength and modulus..had a low interlaminar shear strength of only 2500 lb/sq in.
