A procedure was developed for fabricating short-fiber HTS graphite and NR150B2 polyimide resin into an isogrid configuration. After fabrication, the panels were subjected to structural analysis and testing. The testing program is described.
Research in the area of finite element analysis is summarized. Topics discussed include finite element analysis of a picture frame shear test, BANSAP (a bandwidth reduction program for SAP IV), FEMESH (a finite element mesh generation program based on isoparametric zones), and finite element analysis of a composite bolted joint specimens.
