10 .5. Environmental Conditioning All wet conditioned samples were exposed to elevated temperature and humidity conditions to establish moisture saturation of the material. Specimens were exposed to 85 ± 5 % relative humidity and 45 ± 5 F until an equilibrium moisture weight gain of traveler, or witness coupons ( x x specimen thickness) was achieved. ASTM D59 and SACMA SRM were used as guidelines for environmental conditioning and moisture absorption. Effective moisture equilibrium was achieved when the average moisture content of the traveler specimen changed by less than.5% for two consecutive readings within a span of 7 ±.5 days and was expressed by: W i -W W b i - <.5 where W i = weight at current time W i- = weight at previous time W b = baseline weight prior to conditioning It is common to see small fluctuations in an unfitted plot of the weight gain vs. time curve. There were no fluctuations that made significant errors in results or caused rejection in the moisture equilibrium criteria. Once the traveler coupons passed the criteria for two consecutive readings, the samples were removed from the environmental chamber and placed in a sealed bag with a moist paper or cotton towel for a maximum of 4 days until mechanical testing. Strain gauged specimens were removed from the controlled environment for a maximum of hours for application of gages in ambient laboratory conditions..5.

11 W i -W W b i - <.5 where W i = weight at current time W i- = weight at previous time W b = baseline weight prior to conditioning It is common to see small fluctuations in an unfitted plot of the weight gain vs. time curve. There were no fluctuations that made significant errors in results or caused rejection in the moisture equilibrium criteria.

Strain gauged specimens were removed from the controlled environment for a maximum of hours for application of gages in ambient laboratory conditions..5.4 Normalization Procedures The normalization procedure attempts to reduce variability in fiber-dominated material properties by adjusting raw test values to a specified fiber volume content. Only the following properties were normalized: (warp) Tensile Strength and Modulus 9 (fill) Tensile Strength and Modulus (warp) Compressive Strength and Modulus 9 (fill) Compressive Strength and Modulus The normalization procedure was adopted from MIL-HDBK-7-E, section.4... The procedure which was used to normalize the data is based on two primary assumptions: The relationship between fiber volume fraction and ultimate laminate strength is linear over the entire range of fiber/resin ratios. (It neglects the effects of resin starvation at high fiber contents.) Fiber volume is not commonly measured for each test sample, so this method accounts for the fiber volume variation between individual test specimens by utilizing a relationship between fiber volume fraction and laminate cured ply thickness. This relationship is virtually linear in the.45 to.65 fiber volume fraction range. Additional information is detailed in FAA Document DOT/FAA/AR-/47: Material Qualification and Equivalency for Polymer Matrix Composite Material Systems. For all

12 normalized data contained in this document, the test values are normalized by cured ply thickness according to: where: CPT Normalized Value Test Value CPT specimen normalizing Average Sample Thickness CPT specimen # of plies.5.5 Statistical Analysis When compared to metallic materials, fiber reinforced composite materials exhibit a high degree of material property variability. This variability is due to many factors, including but not limited to: raw material and prepreg manufacture, material handling, part fabrication techniques, ply stacking sequence, environmental conditions, and testing techniques. This inherent variability drives up the cost of composite testing and tends to render smaller data sets than those produced for metallic materials. This necessitates the usage of statistical techniques for determining reasonable design allowables for composites. The analyses and design allowable generation for both A and B basis values were performed using the procedure detailed in section 5. of FAA Document DOT/FAA/AR- /47: Material Qualification and Equivalency for Polymer Matrix Composite Material Systems..5.6 Material Performance Envelope and Interpolation Using the B-basis numbers, a material performance envelope may be generated for the material system by plotting these values as a function of temperature. Figure.5. shows an example material performance envelope using B-basis values.

Since each specific aircraft application of the qualified material may have different Material Operational Limits (MOL) than those tested in the material qualification (which is usually the upper limit), some applications may require a reduced MOL. In this case, simple linear interpolation may be used to obtain the corresponding basis values at the new application MOL. This interpolation may be accomplished using the following simple relationships assuming T RTD < T MOL < T ETD : For the corresponding MOL dry basis value, the interpolated basis value using the qualification data is B MOL B RTD BRTD BETD TRTD TMOL T T RTD ETD where B MOL = new application basis value interpolated to T MOL 4

14 B RTD = basis RTD strength value B ETD = basis ETD strength value T RTD = RTD test temperature T ETD = ETD test temperature T MOL = new application MOL temperature For the corresponding MOL wet basis value, an estimated Room Temperature Wet (RTW) value must be calculated. This may be accomplished by the simple relation B RTW B RTD ( B B ) ETW ETD The interpolated wet basis value using the qualification data may then be obtained by B MOL B RTW BRTW BETW TRTW TMOL T T RTW ETW where: B MOL = new application basis value interpolated to T MOL B RTW = estimated basis RTW strength value B ETW = basis ETW strength value T RTW = RTW (i.e., RTD) test temperature T ETW = ETW test temperature T MOL = new application MOL temperature These equations may also be used for interpolated mean strengths as well as A-basis values with the appropriate substitutions. It should be noted that because unforeseen material property drop-offs with respect to temperature and environment can occur, extrapolation to a higher MOL should not be attempted without additional testing and verification. In addition, the interpolation equations shown above are practical for materials obeying typical mechanical behavior. In most cases, some minimal amount of testing may also be required to verify the interpolated values Interpolation Example This section provides an example of linear interpolations to a specific application environment less than the tested upper material limit used in qualification. Assuming a specific application environment of 5 o F, Figure.5. depicts the linear interpolation of the B-basis design allowable to this environment. Using the above equations along with the nominal testing temperatures (see Table.5.), the interpolated basis values at 5 o F become 5

18 . Process Specification This specification does not address issues relating to safety, quality control, bagging material selection, bagging procedure, tool preparation, or equipment selection. Although these may affect overall part quality, it is the responsibility of the end user to develop procedures related to these issues in a manner that produces parts with high quality and consistency. The following autoclave cure procedures are excerpts from Cessna process specification CSAC5. The exception to this specification is the cure cycle and ply orientation tolerance. The cure cycle for panel fabrication is 5 F, ± : for minutes, +6, -; 45 psi, ±5. Individual ply orientation is ± with respect to the tooled reference edge. The detailed cure cycle procedure is given below. All test specimens were cured per this specification by Cessna Aircraft Company. However, the effects of the upper and lower limits of vacuum, temperature, cure time, heat-up rate and hold temperature on the mechanical and thermal properties have not been investigated. () Apply in-hg of vacuum minimum to vacuum bag. Initiate autoclave pressure psi/minute minimum, vent bag at ± psig. Final vessel pressure 45±5 psi. () From F to 4 F, a minimum heat up rate of. F/minute is acceptable. () All thermocouples shall be at temperature 9

85 .. Representative Shear Stress-Strain Curve The following stress-strain curve is representative of the T65 K-7-PW / 774 prepreg system. The tension and compression stress-strain curves are not presented in graphical form. If strain design allowables from these tests are required, simple one-dimensional linear stress-strain relationships may be used to obtain corresponding strain design values. This process should approximate tensile and compressive strain behavior relatively well but may produce extremely conservative strain values in shear due to the nonlinear behavior. A more realistic approach for shear strain design allowables is to use a maximum strain value of 5% (reference MIL-HDBK-7-E, section 5.7.6). If a nonlinear analysis of the material s shear behavior is required, the curve-fit of the shear stress-strain curve may be used. The representative shear stress-strain curve was obtained by taking the average of all the sample shear curves and determining the best-fit line through the data. The actual data points also presented on the chart to demonstrate material variability. 86
