Presentation Transcript

  1. Properties and Testing Brent Strong

  2. Properties • Combination of resin (matrix) and reinforcement • Some properties are dominated by each but the combination is synergistic • Determining the properties (testing)

  3. Solvent/moisture effects Thermal limitations Toughness Transverse strength and stiffness Damping Electrical properties Void content Processing conditions Bondability Interlaminar shear Surface hardness Surface finish Color Degradation in space Weathering Off-gassing Flammability Matrix-dominated properties

  4. Testing • Mechanical (tensile, compression) • Impact/toughness • Creep • Fatigue • Damping • Environmental (weathering, etc.) • Flammability • Stealth

  5. Tensile tester

  6. Impact tester

  7. Weatherometer

  8. Flammability − Cone calorimeter

  9. Chamber Sample Sample holder Gas manifold N2 O2 Limiting Oxygen Index

  10. B-2/B-52 Size Comparison

  11. Stealth Radiation Considerations • Radar • Infra-red • Visual from ground • Visual from above (satellite) • Visual from other aircraft • Sound • Con-trail • Radio transmissions • Ultraviolet • X-ray
