Compression after impact (CAI) testing is common for composite materials and standards including Boeing BMS-7260, SACMA 2R-94, ASTM D7136/M, and Airbus AITM 1.0010. The fixture and insert varies for each test, and the crosshead weight is very important. The anti-rebound system is required for all standards, while a tup and insert are required to complete the configuration and must be chosen based on the expected maximum load.
