1.5.2 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 145 5 F until an equilibrium moisture weight gain of
traveler, or witness coupons (1 x 1 x specimen thickness) was achieved. ASTM D5229
and SACMA SRM 11 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 0.05% for two consecutive readings within a
span of 7 0.5 days and was expressed by:
W i - W i - 1 < 0.0005
Wb
where

W i = weight at current time


W i-1 = 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 14 days until
mechanical testing. Strain gauged specimens were removed from the controlled
environment for a maximum of 2 hours for application of gages in ambient laboratory
conditions.

1.5.3 Fluid Sensitivity Screening


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 145 5 F until an equilibrium moisture weight gain of
traveler, or witness coupons (1 x 1 x specimen thickness) was achieved. ASTM D5229
and SACMA SRM 11 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 0.05% for two consecutive readings within a
span of 7 0.5 days and was expressed by:

11

W i - W i - 1 < 0.0005
Wb
where

W i = weight at current time


W i-1 = 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 14 days until
mechanical testing. Strain gauged specimens were removed from the controlled
environment for a maximum of 2 hours for application of gages in ambient laboratory
conditions.

1.5.4 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:

0 (warp) Tensile Strength and Modulus


90 (fill) Tensile Strength and Modulus
0 (warp) Compressive Strength and Modulus
90 (fill) Compressive Strength and Modulus

The normalization procedure was adopted from MIL-HDBK-17-1E, section 2.4.3.3. 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 0.45 to 0.65 fiber volume fraction range.

12

Additional information is detailed in FAA Document DOT/FAA/AR-00/47: Material


Qualification and Equivalency for Polymer Matrix Composite Material Systems. For all
normalized data contained in this document, the test values are normalized by cured ply
thickness according to:

1.5.5 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 5.3 of FAA Document DOT/FAA/AR00/47: Material Qualification and Equivalency for Polymer Matrix Composite Material
Systems.

1.5.6 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 1.5.1
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 TRTD < TMOL < TETD :
For the corresponding MOL dry basis value, the interpolated basis value using the
qualification data is

B MOL = B RTD where

(B RTD - BETD )(TRTD - TMOL )


(TRTD - TETD )

BMOL = new application basis value interpolated to TMOL

15

BRTD = basis RTD strength value


BETD = basis ETD strength value
TRTD = RTD test temperature
TETD = ETD test temperature
TMOL = 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

BRTW = BRTD - ( BETD - BETW )


The interpolated wet basis value using the qualification data may then be obtained by

BMOL = BRTW -

where:

(BRTW - BETW )(TRTW - TMOL )


(TRTW - TETW )

BMOL = new application basis value interpolated to TMOL


BRTW = estimated basis RTW strength value
BETW = basis ETW strength value
TRTW = RTW (i.e., RTD) test temperature
TETW = ETW test temperature
TMOL = 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.
1.5.6.1 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 150o F, Figure 1.5.2 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 1.5.1), the interpolated basis values at 150o
F become
ETD : BMOL = 75.106 ksi

ETW : BMOL = 59.746 ksi

2.2 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
CSAC005. The exception to this specification is the cure cycle and ply orientation
tolerance. The cure cycle for panel fabrication is 250F, 10: for 120 minutes, +60, -0;
45 psi, 5. Individual ply orientation is 2 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.

(1) Apply 22 in-Hg of vacuum minimum to vacuum bag. Initiate autoclave pressure 3
psi/minute minimum, vent bag at 2010 psig. Final vessel pressure 455 psi.
(2) From 230F to 240F, a minimum heat up rate of 0.3F/minute is acceptable.
(3) All thermocouples shall be at temperature

3.2.3 Representative Shear Stress-Strain Curve


The following stress-strain curve is representative of the T650 3K-135-8H / 7740 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-17-1E, section 5.7.6).
If a nonlinear analysis of the materials 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.
