6、 properties of the facings (quasi-isotropic, symmetric, laminates ( 0,+45,90,-45,) of Celion2/PMR-1 5) were determined at 11 6 K, room temperature, and 589 K (-250F, room temperature, and 600F) using the sandwich-beam-flexure test method. Buck- ling specimens were 30.5 by 33 cm (1 2 by 13 in.), had

7、quasi-isotropic, symmetric facings ( 0,+45,90,), and a glass/plyimide honeycomb core (HRH-3273-3/8-4). Core thicknesses were varied (0.635, 1.27, 1.91, and 2.54 cm (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 in.) and three panels of each thickness were tested at room temper- ature to investigate failure modes and c

Results of wrinkling tests indicated that several buckling formulas were uncon- servative and therefore

INTRODUCTION Preliminary structural studies of advanced space transportation systems using advanced composite structural materials of high-strength fibers and polyimide resin matrices indicate that a reduction of up

10、to 25 percent in vehi- cle structural mass is obtained by the direct replacement of aluminum panels with graphite/plyimide (Gr/PI) panels (refs. 1 and 2). Furthermore, prelimi- nary studies of the aft body flap of the Space Shuttle Orbiter (ref. 3) indicate that compression loads are the primary des

11、ign condition for this structural com- ponent and because a biaxial state of stress exists in the cover panels a sand- wich panel was chosen. The present study focuses on Gr/PI structural sandwich panels which may have application as cover skins on lightly loaded components such as the aft body flap

14、study. The purposes of the present study are to analytically and experimentally investigate the local and general buckling behavior of minimum-gage Gr/PI sand- wich panels capable of use at temperatures ranging from 116 to 589 K (-250 to 600F), to verify the fabrication method used in manufacture of

15、 the panels, and to determine the material properties of the 0,+45,901s Gr/PI sandwich panel facings. Buckling specimens 30.5 by 33.0 cm (12 by 13 in.) were designed and fabri- cated with various core thicknesses to study local and general instability failure modes. The buckling specimens were teste

16、d in uniaxial edgewise compres- sion at room temperature (R.T.) and were simply supported along all four edges. Several analysis methods (refs. 4 to 8) were used to determine upper and lower bounds on critical stresses relating to intracellular buckling (dimpling), wrin- kling, shear crimping, and g

17、eneral panel instability and are evaluated in this study for their capability in predicting buckling loads and modes of Gr/PI sandwich panels. The panels were fabricated using a commercially available high-temperature film adhesive, FM-34, to bond the core to the facings. Flatwise-tensile tests were

18、 performed using the sandwich panel facing laminate orientation, core, and adhesive to determine a suitable fabrication cure cycle and the tensile adhesive bond strength in a core-to-facing bond situation. In addition, flatwise-tensile tests were used to evaluate BR-34, a liquid version of the FM-34

19、 film adhesive, as a cell-edge adhesive. Sandwich-beam-flexure tests were performed to determine modulus, strength, and Poissons ratio of the facings. The flatwise-tensile tests and sandwich- beam-flexure tests were conducted at temperatures of 116 K, R.T., and 589 K (-250F, R.T., and 600OF). Qualit

20、y control standards for fabrication of all specimens were high to minimize scatter in the data. Results of the tests are presented in tabular and graphical form. Results of the beam tests were ana- lyzed statistically and a best-fit third-order polynomial relating stress and strain was fit through t

In no case does such identification imply recommendation or endorsement of the product by NASA, nor does it imply that the materials are neces

The CASTS effort focused on graphite/polyimide, and a significant part of the program included evaluating and characterizing various fiber and resin materials. As a result of these evaluations, the materials used in different phases of the present s

32、tudy varied as improved systems were identified. Specifically, for flatwise-tensile tests, the laminates were HTS4-l/PMR-15; for sandwich-beam-flexure tests, the laminates were Celion 6000/PMR-15; for buckling tests, the laminates were Celion 3000/PMR-15. The primary purpose of the flatwise-tensile

33、tests was to evaluate adhesive tensile strengths and therefore the difference in facing materials was not critical. The thinnest gage prepreg, Celion 3000/PMR-15, was chosen over the Celion 6000/PMR-15 to minimize mass of the sandwich panels, and the Celion fiber was chosen over the HTS fiber becaus

34、e Celion exhibits less material prop- erty degradation than HTS at elevated temperatures. Flatwise-Tensile Specimens Forty-six 7.62 by 7.62-an (3 by 3-in.) specimens were fabricated using pre- cured 0,+45,901s laminates of HTS-l/PMR-15 Gr/PI facings, glass/polyimide honeycomb core (HRH-327-3/16-6 or

35、 8) and the desired adhesive. A schematic dia- gram of a typical specimen is shown in figure l. Details of fabrication proce- dures and cure cycles are given in reference 9 and table I, respectively. Steel load blocks were bonded to the facings of the specimens and each block had a tapped hole for a

The specimens were tested in a universal testing machine operating in a displacement control mode at a constant rate of 0.13 cm/mi

37、n (0.05 in/min). Test temperatures other than room temperature were obtained using an environmental chamber positioned within the crossheads and posts of the testing machine. Specimens were held at desired test temperatures for 15 minutes prior to testing to insure thermal equilibrium. Maximum load

The honeycomb core was HRH 327-3/16-8 glass/polyimide and was cut into strips 2.54 cm (1.00 in.) wide by 55.88 cm (22.0 in.) long by 3.175 cm (1.25 in.) high. The test facing of the beam was a O,+45,9O,-45Is laminate of

40、Celion 6000/PMR-15 and the oppo- site facing had a laminate orientation of 02,+45,90,-451,. The additional Oo layers of the non-test facing insured failure of the test facing. These lami- nate orientations were chosen to avoid microcracks in the laminate which are believed to occur when adjacent lay

41、ers are stacked at an angle greater than or equal to 90 with respect to one another. The honeycomb core was filled with BR-34 liquid adhesive and glass beads throughout the length of the beams, except for the 7.62-cm (3.00-in.) test section in the center of the beams, to prevent premature adhesive f

Apparatus and instrumentation.- Each specimen was instrumented at the mid- span of the beam with a high-temperature strain rosette (WK-03-060-WR-350) oriented at Oo, 45O, and 90 with the load axis and b

The sandwich beams were placed in a four-point bending test apparatus (fig. 3) which supported the beam on rollers 48.26 cm (19.00 in.) apart with flat sections 2.54 cm (1.00 in

45、.) wide machined in them. Load was applied by a 222-kN (50-kip) capacity hydraulic testing machine which acted at two points on the top flange of the beam spaced 10.16 cm (4.00 in.) apart and symmetric about the beams center. For testing at temperatures other than room temper- ature the specimen was

46、 instrumented with a thermocouple attached to the test facing and the test fixture and specimen were completely enclosed in an envi- ronmental chamber and either heated or cooled to the desired test temperature. Specimens were allowed to soak at the test temperature for 20 minutes to insure thermal

47、equilibrium. A data handling system consisting of 40-channel scanner, digital voltmeter, plotter, printer, clock, and calculator was used to record and reduce data. Procedure.- The load signals from the load cell on the hydraulic testing machine were input to one channel of the scanner. Strain signa

48、ls were input to selected scanner channels and initally set to zero using Wheatstone bridge bal- ance (for non-room-temperature tests, initial strain signals were set to zero after thermal equilibrium). Strains were corrected for transverse sensitivity of the gages and nonlinearity of the bridge cir
