Abstract
A fixture for use in the non-encapsulated cross-sectioning of a composite structure. The fixture comprises a base having a ridge formed in the lower surface thereof for supporting the base on a grinding disc for cross-sectioning of the composite structure. The fixture further comprises a mounting member removably secured to that end of the base opposite the ridge. The mounting member extends outwardly from the base, and the composite structure is mounted on a front face of the mounting member. The front face of the mounting member has two contiguous but discontinuous surfaces on which the structure may be mounted. Either perpendicular or angled sections may be formed in the structure, depending upon which surface of the front face the structure is mounted.
