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 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 and compare to ANSYS
Tests:
tensile test
3 point bend test
Bulkhead pre-cut dimensions (cm)
CAD dimensions (cm)
