STRUCTURAL TEST COMPARISON OF CO-CURED, SKIN-STIFFENER COMPOSITE BONDED ASSEMBLIES USING OUT-OF-AUTOCLAVE AUTOCLAVE PREPREGS

摘要

Significant advances have been made in the area of toughened epoxy resin, Out-of-Autoclave (OOA) prepregs for structural applications. Lamina and laminate mechanical properties and coupon data show comparable data of the OOA prepregs to autoclave processed material systems. This paper presents the structural test results of composite bonded assemblies fabricated using OOA materials and processing and compares the results to conventional autoclave processed materials.
