摘要: |
The growing interest in small business jets in the general aviation industry is the motivation of this present research. The major objective in the small business jet industry is to reduce costs while keeping takeoff weights below 12,500 lb (5670 kg), which is a requirement of the Federal Aviation Administration. The overall objective of this research is the performance evaluation and modeling of biaxial braided composites manufactured using vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding. Biaxial braided composites with different braid angles were manufactured using carbon braids and two different resin systems (vinyl ester and epoxy). Static tension and tension-tension fatigue tests were performed. |
