METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FAILURE PROBABILITY DENSITY FUNCTION DETERMINATION

摘要

A coupon fabrication with defined distortion in the form of marceled fibers and test protocol is employed to determine the shape of the failure probability density curve to improve the analyses of the risk of fiber distortion anomalies in composite structures. This protocol provides a method to determine the probability of and the severity of the various distorted fiber conditions that might exist on composite structure in fabrication and in service. A distortion characterization matrix is established for determining test shapes and providing defect characterization based on the results of tests on the selected shapes. Coupons for test are created using resin pool
