We want to get key properties from our carbon fiber from the front bulkhead, in order to decide whether or not it needs to be redone. 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 could yield errors of 15%+
Goal:
acquire values for relevant mechanical properties
put values back into sims and see if further reinforcement is needed
What we want:
Young’s modulus
Yield stress
Shear stress
UTS
Flexural modulus
