Some Aspects Of The Mechanical Response Of Pmr-15 Neat Resin At 288°C: Experiment And Modeling, Christina M. Falcone
Some Aspects Of The Mechanical Response Of Pmr-15 Neat Resin At 288°C: Experiment And Modeling, Christina M. Falcone
Theses and Dissertations
The mechanical response of PMR-15 neat resin was investigated at 288?C. Monotonic loading/unloading tests performed at several constant stress rates revealed considerable rate dependence, especially on the unloading path. Effect of prior stress rate on creep behavior was evaluated in creep tests preceded by uninterrupted loading to a target stress. Creep response was dependent on the prior stress rate. Effect of loading history was studied in stepwise creep tests, where specimens were subjected to a constant stress rate loading followed by unloading to zero stress with intermittent creep periods during both loading and unloading. Comparison of creep strains accumulated during …
Application Of Spline Variational Analysis Method In The Modeling Of Composite Repairs, Brian M. Fredrickson
Application Of Spline Variational Analysis Method In The Modeling Of Composite Repairs, Brian M. Fredrickson
Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to apply a non-commercialized spline-based (BSpline Analysis Method or BSAM) computer program to model and predict strain fields in two composite repairs, a scarf joint and a stepped-lap joint, subjected to static tensile loading. Test specimens with scarf and stepped-lap joints are fabricated using quasiisotropic sixteen ply panels made from IM6/3501-6 prepreg with a [+452/02/-452/902]s lay-up. The panels were bonded together with FM-300M (0.05psf), a 176°C cure film adhesive, under positive pressure. A total of five coupons of each joint type are made. Two of …
Creep-Rupture And Fatigue Behaviors Of Notched Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature, Mark A. Sullivan
Creep-Rupture And Fatigue Behaviors Of Notched Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature, Mark A. Sullivan
Theses and Dissertations
Oxide/oxide composites are being considered for use in high temperature aerospace applications where their inherent resistance to oxidation provides for better long life properties at high temperature than most other ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). One promising oxide/oxide CMC is Nextel 720/A (N720/A) which uses an 8-harness satin weave (8HSW) of Nextel 720 fibers embedded in a porous alumina matrix. Possible aerospace applications for N720/A will likely require inserting holes into the material for mounting and cooling purposes. The notch characteristics must be understood to ensure designs using the material are sufficient for the desired application. This research effort examined the …
