Development of Carbon Fiber-Resin Composite Materials for Advanced ABM Structures.
Abstract
Material specifications and process control specification were developed for carbon fiber-resin composite materials. Hoop ring tests were conducted to evaluate the tensile strength and modulus of Thornel 300/epoxy rings fabricated by wet winding and by prepreg layup techniques. For the cone frustum shell structure of an advanced interceptor, the unidirectional prepreg layup is the recommended fabrication method. Composite lamina angle tests were conducted to provide the relationship of tensile strength, modulus and Poisson's ratio with lamina angles. Thornel 300/Fiberite 934 was the composite material used. Test results show Thornel 300/Fiberite 934 will not provide the stiffness required for the Advanced ABM structure. GY70/epoxy is recommended for the follow-on development.
