This STP contains 22 papers, 20 of which were presented at the 14th ASTM International Symposium on Composite Materials: Testing and Design held March 11-12, 2002. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee D30 on Composite Materials. The aim of the symposium was to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and exchange their latest methods and findings related to the testing and design of composite materials and structures.
Two sessions of the symposium focused on composite flywheels. The presentations covered a broad array of topics including: state-of-the-art review, material properties testing, nondestructive evaluation, manufacturing, time dependent deformation, burst testing, and containment. A second focus area of the symposium concerned computational simulation as it relates to composite material behavior and verification testing strategies. Two sessions and a panel discussion were devoted to computational simulation. Three other sessions covered infrastructure applications and general topics in testing and design.
The papers published in this STP are organized by topic in five sections:
- Composite Flywheels for Energy Storage
- Construction and Industrial Applications
- Computational Simulation Methods for Composite Behavior
- Metal Matrix Composites
- Polymer Matrix Composites
- Specific topics addressed by papers in this collection include:
- experimental failure effect analysis
- composite high-speed flywheel rotors
- composite wrap systems
- interfacial contact behavior
- CFRP-metal couples
- RPM sewer pipes
- long-term strain-corrosion
- autofrettage
- computational simulation
- fibre-reinforced polymers (FRP)
- fatigue life of SCS-6/Timetal 834
- laminated composites
- ultrasonic spectroscopy
- highly anisotropic composite
- nonlinear error in mixed-mode bending test
- hydroburst test methodology
- filament wound composites
- viscoelastic model
This STP contains research and testing information of particular interest to engineers, researchers, and designers working with composite materials development, use, testing, or manufacture.
