In recent years, NASA, FAA and the aerospace industry, through MIL-HDBK-17 and the NASA-conceived AGATE(Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments) program, have worked together to reduce the qualification burden imposed on individual aircraft manufacturers. AGATE is one of the most successful public/private cost-haring partnerships ever conceived, bringing together academia, the FAA, other government agencies and industry to develop affordable new technologies and accompanying industry standards and certification methods. In 2005, NASA established NCAMP(National Center for Advanced Materials Performance) with the purpose of refining and enhancing the AGATE process to a self-sustaining level to serve the entire aerospace industry in partnership with CMH-17, FAA, and SAE. In this paper, I will introduce briefly NCAMP process and explain its organization structure and core NCAMP documents. This paper can provide some help in establishing our certification system for composite materials where the NCAMP process is expected to be the most good model.

복합재료를 사용하여 우주항공 부품을 설계할 때 국내는 물론, 미국을 비롯한 우주항공선진국의 감항규정에서 민간과 군용 모두 통계적으로 산출된 값을 사용할 것을 요구하고 있다. 그러나 이 기준을 만족하기 위해서는 방대한 데이터베이스가 필요하여 시험 비용 및 시간이 큰 문제가 되어왔다. 최근 미국 NASA/FAA에서 시험 개수를 줄이면서 동시에 통계적 기준을 만족할 수 있는 새로운 설계허용값 산출방법을 AGATE 프로그램을 통해서 개발하였다. 특히 이미 인증된 재료를 다른 사업에 사용하기 위해서 사용할 수 있는 재료동등성 시험(Material Equivalency Test)은 국내의 사업에 직접 적용할 수 있는 중요한 개념이다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 사용하고 있는 복합재료의 특성을 공유하여 비용을 절감하고 재료특성을 정확히 관리할 목적으로 재료 동등성 및 수락시험 절차를 설명하고, 예로서 국내에서 개발한 고온용 탄소복합재료의 설계허용값을 산출하였다.

The properties of composite materials, when compared to those of metallic materials, are highly variable due to many factors including the batch-to-batch variability of raw materials, the prepreg manufacturing process, material handling, part-fabrication techniques, ply-stacking sequences, environmental conditions, and test procedures. It is therefore necessary to apply reliable statistical-analysis techniques to obtain the design allowables of composite materials. A new composite-material qualification process has been developed by the Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments (AGATE) consortium to yield the lamina-design allowables of composite materials according to standardized coupon-level tests and statistical techniques; moreover, the generated allowables database can be shared among multiple users without a repeating of the full qualification procedure by each user. In 2005, NASA established the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) with the purpose of refining and enhancing the AGATE process to a self-sustaining level to serve the entire aerospace industry. In this paper, the statistical techniques and procedures for the generation of the allowables of aerospace composite materials will be discussed with a focus on the pooling-across-environments method.

Since the late 1990's, FAA, NASA and the aerospace industry have worked together to develop the sharing system of the composite material qualification databases which were obtained through the standardized fabrication and testing procedures. The result was what is now known as the AGATE(Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments) or NCAMP(National Center for Advanced Materials Performance) methodology, a more cost-effective concept that shifts the major responsibility for qualification and testing from the aircraft manufacturer to the material supplier. The properties of composite materials are largely dependent on the testing as well as the raw material properties and the manufacturing process including the process control parameters. Thus it is important in the composite material qualification to comply with the standardized testing procedures. In this paper, I will describe the standardized witness methodologies of certification engineers to reduce the effect of testing variability within the qualification data.

그동안 소형항공기에 사용하는 재료에 대해서도 대형항공기와 동일하게 요구하여 왔으나, 대형항공기 제조사에 비해 규모가 작은 소형항공기 제조사에서는 이 기준을 맞추기 위하여 많은 시험을 수행해야 하므로 큰 어려움을 겪어왔다. 최근 미국 FAA/NASA에서는 새로운 정책으로 요구조건을 변경하여 복합재 소형항공기를 인증하여 소형항공기 산업을 발전시키고 있다. 본 논문에서는 새롭게 바뀐 복합재료 인증 방법론에 대하여 설명하고, 예로서 이 방법을 사용하여 국산 350°F 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 설계허용값을 산출하였다.
