Compendium of Post-Failure Analysis Techniques for Composite Materials.

Abstract

The objective of this document is to describe the analytical and diagnostic techniques that can be used to determine the causes of failure in continuous fiber reinforced composite materials. This is a compendium of procedures which may be used as a reference manual when conducting a post-failure analysis. The major diagnostic procedures considered are fractography, materials characterization, non-destructive evaluation, and stress analysis. (Keywords: Composites; composite structure, failure analysis, fractography, graphite epoxy, stress analysis, non-destructive evaluation, materials characterization.
