Composite Materials Characterization and Development at AFWAL

Abstract

The development of test methodology for characterizing matrix dominated failure modes is discussed emphasizing issues of matrix cracking, delamination under static loading, and the relationship of composite properties to matrix properties. Both strength characterization and classical techniques of linear elastic fracture mechanics were examined. Materials development studies are also discussed. Major areas of interest include acetylene-terminated and bismaleimide resins for 350 to 450 deg use, thermoplastics development, and failure resistant composite concepts.
