Composite Replacement Panel Strain Survey (CRPSS) - Test Plan

Abstract

The Defence Science and Technology Organisation in collaboration with the Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Materials, is developing the capability to replace metallic aircraft panels with those manufactured from advanced fibre composites. This is known as the Composite Replacement Panel Technology (CRPT). One step toward airworthiness certification of the CRPT is a validated capability to predict strain within a composite replacement panel (CRP) and the aircraft sub-structure. The strain data required for this validation shall be obtained in the Composite Replacement Panel Strain Survey (CRPSS). In the CRPSS, the strains within a demonstrator CRP installed on a F-111C aircraft shall be measured during a Cold Proof Load Test to be conducted at RAAF Base Amberley in June 2004. This report describes the procedures to be used for the CRPSS,
