Themethodologyfordesigninghigh-performancecompositestructuresisstill
evo- ing. The complexity of the response of composite materials and
the dif?culties in predicting the composite material properties
from the basic properties of the c- stituents result in the need
for a well-planned and exhaustive test program. The recommended
practice to mitigate the technological risks associated with
advanced composite materials is to substantiate the performance and
durability of the design in a sequence of steps known as the
Building Block Approach. The Building Block Approach ensures that
cost and performance objectives are met by testing greater numbers
of smaller, less expensive specimens. In this way, technology risks
are assessed early in the program. In addition, the knowledge
acquired at a given level of structural complexity is built up
before progressing to a level of increased complexity. Achieving
substantiation of structural performance by testing alone can be p-
hibitively expensive because of the number of specimens and
components required to characterize all material systems, loading
scenarios and boundary conditions. Building Block
Approachprogramscan achieve signi?cant cost reductionsby se- ing a
synergy between testing and analysis. The more the development
relies on analysis, the less expensive it becomes. The use of
advanced computational models for the prediction of the mechanical
response of composite structures can replace some of the mechanical
tests and can signi?cantly reduce the cost of designing with
composites while providing to the engineers the information
necessary to achieve an optimized design.
