Quality Control and Nondestructive Evaluation Techniques for Composites. Part 1. Overview of Characterization Techniques for Composite Reliability
Abstract
Advanced composite materials technology has undergone a fundamental transition in the last decade and is now implemented in a wide range of large scale primary structures ranging from composite helicopter rotor blades to composite cargo bay doors for Space Shuttle orbitor. Part of this technology development for composite reliability is a highly organized advancement in the methods and management of characterization methodologies. These characterization methodologies can be listed in the approximate order of their implementation as follows: Chemical Quality Assurance Testing; Processability Testing; Cure Monitoring and Management, Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE); Performance and Proof Testing; and Durability Analysis and Service Life Prediction.
