Composites Materials Handbook, Volume 5

Introduction:

Ceramic Matrix Composites Handbook contains guidelines for determining the properties of composite material systems, their constituents, and generic structural elements, including test planning, test matrices, sampling, conditioning, test procedure selection, data reporting, data reduction, statistical analysis, and other related topics. Part A contains guidelines for general development of material characterization data as well as specific requirements for publication of material data.

It must be emphasized that this handbook differentiates between material basis values (material allowables) and design allowable values. Material basis values, being an intrinsic property of a composite material system, are the focus of this handbook. Design allowable values, while often rooted in material basis values, are application dependent, and include specific additional considerations that may further affect the strength or stiffness of the structure.
