Advanced Composites Data for Aircraft Structural Design. Volume IV. Material and Basic Allowable Development - Graphite/Epoxy

Abstract

The test program purpose is to characterize a singular graphite/epoxy system with the data divided into two categories: baseline data and environmental effects data. The purpose of the baseline data is to provide the basic materials, bonded and mechanical joint data, and fundamental configuration data at room, elevated, and subzero temperatures to support the design of graphite/epoxy airframe structural components. These data are augmented by the environmental effects data, which will establish the influence of the operating environment of high-performance aircraft on the design allowables of the graphite/epoxy system studies.
