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.

This paper examines the statistical process that should be performed with caution in the composite material qualification and equivalency process, and describes statistically significant considerations on outlier finding and handling process, data pooling through normalization process, review for data distributions and design allowables determination process for structural analysis. Based on these considerations, the need for guidance on statistical process for aircraft manufacturers who use the composite material properties database are proposed.

복합재 항공기 구조물의 설계 시 인증을 고려한 재료 허용치와 설계치의 설정이 매우 중요하다. 그리고 복합재 구조물의 재료 허용치와 설계치의 설정은 정적강도, 손상허용 요구 조건 및 환경효과가 고려되어야 한다. 빌딩블록 접근법은 오랫동안 민간 및 군수 항공 산업에 적용되어 왔으며 중요한 인증 방법론을 제공하였다. 현재의 인증 방법은 시편, 요소, 부구성품 및 전기체 시험을 포함하는 광범위한 실험을 기반으로 한다. 본 논문에서는 복합재 허용치 실험 사례가 제시되며 빌딩 블록 접근 방식의 중요한 배경 및 적용방법이 제시된다.

Structural qualification plan (SQP) for aerospace vehicle is based on material certification methodology, which must be approved by certification authority. It is internationally required to use of statistically based material allowables to design aerospace vehicles with aerospace materials. In order to comply with this regulation, it is necessary to establish relatively large amount of database, which increases test costs and time. Recently NASA/FAA develop the new methodology which results in cost, time, and risk reduction, and satisfies the regulation at the same time. This paper summarizes the certification methodology of materials system as a part of structural qualification plan (SQP) of aerospace vehicles and also thermal management of the vehicle system, like thermal protection materials system and thermally conductive material system. Materials design allowable was determined using this method for a carbon/epoxy composite material.

Since the time, cost and lack of regulatory information and guidance, one of the largest regulatory obstacles for an airframe manufacturer of polymer based advanced composite materials in certified aircraft applications, is to generate design allowables that will satisfy Airworthiness Regulations. In the past two decades, the design allowables used in military aircraft had been generated and applied in Korea, however the qualification of composite materials used in certifying airframe structure was not accomplished for design and demonstration of compliance to applicable airworthiness regulation. It is the intend of this paper that provide the basis of composite material qualification for small aircraft certification to the airworthiness regulation.
