METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETERMINING AN ALLOWABLE MOISTURE CONTENT IN A COMPOSITE STRUCTURE

摘要

A method (300) of determining an allowable moisture content (146) of a composite structure includes performing (302) a thermal analysis on the composite structure to determine a surface temperature profile (126) of the composite structure. The surface temperature profile (126) is determined independently of a moisture content of the composite structure. The method (300) also includes performing a moisture analysis on the composite structure to determine an allowable moisture content (146) of the composite structure such that the moisture analysis is based on the determined surface temperature profile (126).
