摘要：	Since the 1960s the Air Force has employed an aluminum matting system, AM-2, for rapid aircraft parking ramp expansion (RPRE) in austere environments. While functional and durable, AM-2 is heavy and cumbersome to install. The restrictive weight of AM-2 and its tedious installation complicate the process of deploying aircraft. The Air Force Research laboratory (AFRL) is developing an AM-2 alternative made from composite materials. This next generation matting system, AM-X, consists of a lightweight foam core sandwiched between composite face sheets. The critical key performance parameters (KPP) for AM-X are a unit weight between 154.7 N/m2 (3.23 lbs/ft2) and 232.7 N/m2 (4.86 lbs/ft2), and a useful life requirement between 1500 and 1000 passes by a tire carrying a 133,733N (30,000 lb) load creating a surface pressure of 241.9N/cm2 (350 psi) over a soil with a California Bearing Ration (CBR) value of 6 with no more th
