Sec.5 Materials – sandwich structures – Page 92<br />

7.2.3 The influence of such additives or fillers on the basic mechanical properties shall be evaluated.<br />

7.3 Fire resistance<br />

7.3.1 Fire resistance describes the remaining strength of a composite structure under a fire.<br />

7.3.2 As a first estimate of fire resistance, the temperature-dependent properties as described in [5.2] can be used.<br />

7.3.3 The temperature within a sandwich component can be calculated by means of appropriate models.<br />

7.3.4 If chemical reactions can occur within the sandwich component, their influence on the temperature<br />

distribution shall be considered.<br />

7.3.5 Through thickness properties and core properties shall be carefully evaluated, especially in the region of<br />

joints.<br />

Guidance note:<br />

A panel with stiffeners may loose most of its stiffness if the stiffeners delaminate from the panel due to the fire.<br />

7.4 Insulation<br />

---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---<br />

7.4.1 The properties of the insulation with respect to fire reaction and fire resistance shall be evaluated.<br />

7.4.2 Special consideration shall be given to the joints of the insulation and the method the insulation is<br />

attached to the component. Attachment points and joints may create hot spots in the component.<br />

7.4.3 All large scale testing shall be done with jointed insulation and the same attachments as used in the real<br />

application.<br />

7.5 Properties after the fire<br />

7.5.1 A fire is usually seen as an accidental load case and properties after the fire shall be evaluated for each<br />

individual case.<br />

7.5.2 If the temperature has locally exceeded the Tg of the component it is very likely that permanent damage<br />

has been made to the component in that area.<br />

7.5.3 If the temperature remained locally under Tg damage may be introduced due to overloads from other<br />

parts of the structure.<br />

8 Qualification of material properties<br />

8.1 Introduction<br />

8.1.1 All material properties needed to describe the performance of a component shall be documented.<br />

8.1.2 As a general principal, material properties should be obtained form test results of laminates that represent<br />

the laminates of the component as closely as possible.<br />

8.1.3 Material properties may be documented by the following methods:<br />

— direct measurements<br />

— qualification against representative data<br />

— qualification against manufacturers data<br />

— qualification against data from the open literature<br />

— qualification by component testing.<br />

8.1.4 Each individual material property may be qualified by any of the different methods.<br />

8.1.5 Which data can be used for qualification depends mainly on two aspects:<br />

— were the data obtained form laminates that are similar to the laminates used in the component<br />

— were the data obtained from reputable sources.<br />

8.2 General test requirements<br />

8.2.1 All relevant information about the material tested, the test method, and the test conditions shall<br />

accompany test results. The information requested in [1.2] shall be provided.<br />

8.2.2 Static test results shall be reported as mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, and number of<br />

test specimens. The characteristic values of static tests shall be calculated as described in Sec.4 [2.4].<br />
