Taking scrap pieces from the panel, after trimming the panel itself to size, and destructively testing seems to be the way to go - any other way such as test pieces could lead to 15%+ deviations from the true panel properties. These tests could then be recreated in ANSYS to see the deviations.
Goal:
Load test pieces, acquire values for relevant mechanical propertiesput values back into sims and see if further reinforcement is neededand compare to ANSYS
What we want to compare:
Young’s modulus
Yield stress
Shear stress
UTS
Flexural modulus
