As I recall, the restrictions to the A4EI/J codes was in Volume 1 of the technical data.

Look into the phenolic resins. They have been around for a long time. Do not have any cost information for you.

I use Strand7 quite a bit (but not full time), and love it. I have all the options, but don't have time to explore all of them. Ann Delvoux is the USA Tech Rep, and is very helpful. In one of my models I had about 120,000 bricks, lots of plates, etc. and it took about 10 minutes.

Look up ATK, Clearfield, UT, USA

If you make an unsymmetrical laminate, it will curl up on its own (using an elevated temperature cure).

All 8110-3 approvals on what you are referring to are for one specific aircraft only.

The best source of information about knock-down factors will be from the NASA SP series of reports. NASA SP 8007 is used for cylindrical shells, isotropic and orthotropic. There a additional SP's for cones, plates, and spherical shells.

Perhaps a bit old school, but I thought spacecraft thermal analysis used Trasys/Sinda software to determine temperatures. The resultant temperatures are then transferred to the mechanical model for analysis.

While I did not read your excellent paper in excruciating detail, it appears to be very concise and detailed. Your focus is on establishing methodology for establishing a high quality bond initially, and then observing bond degradation due to hydration. Other factors that you have pointed out...

One possibility for not having the Failure Index's match is that Tsai-Wu requires an interaction term. On some programs that can be set by the user, and in other cases it is internally fixed. In many cases, the interaction term is set at -.5, but can also be 0 or +.5 The software...

Look up your Pshell data fields. Mid1 is the membrane matrix, Mid2 is the bending matrix, Mid3 is the honeycomb or foam core matrix (if used), Mid4 is the coupling matrix (which means the laminate is not symmetric about the midplane). Where, Mid? references the Mat2 (or Mat8) cards with the...

You have correctly answered your own question. The "G" terms are placeholders. Mat2 cards are used with Pshell cards. Membrane is [A]/t, and bending is 12*[D]/t^3. If there is membrane-bending coupling, then the [B] matrix is also used; [B]/t^2. Where [A], [B] and [D] are the portions of...

DER's operate under the guidance of 8110-37, which is controlled by the FAA. The FAA is a federal agency, not subject to the whims of individual states. The PE is not required.

There was a lot of work done on impact testing in the 1970's and early 1980's. Do a literature search in the "Journal of Composite Materials".

Have you considered using pre-cured G-10 sheets bonded to balsa core? You would still need to seal the edges, but I suspect that the right shape (pre-cured) or bent on a brake would work. All you would be doing now is bonding the pieces together.

On the WMAP program, the structure was tested to 40 Kelvin. 350F cure, high modulus carbon/graphite materials, and EA 9394 adhesive.

TRACES + SINDA are programs used to determine orbital temperatures on spacecraft structure.

In your inquiry about design packages, are you interested in the CAD software, or the analysis software?

Some shops use 3/8" tempered glass. Stanley knife blades are cheap.

You may want to think about a tooling change as the fastest approach. Use the trapped rubber molding process. The rubber expands greatly when heated in the mold, giving pressures even with or greater than an autoclave. Do a Google on trapped rubber molding. Make contact with Airtech in...
