Table 5-11 Qualification against representative data<br />
Mechanical parameter<br />
8.6.8 The entry “rep.” in Table 5-11 means that representative data may be used without testing. In some cases<br />
the representative data shall be multiplied by a factor as indicated in Table 5-11.<br />
8.6.9 Confirm if critical for design means that the value or procedure of the lower safety class may be used if<br />
an additional safety factor of 2 can be applied in all relevant failure criteria.<br />
8.6.10 The procedure of the higher safety class may always be used to obtain better values than can be obtained<br />
by using the procedure of the lower safety class.<br />
8.6.11 If any of the confirmation tests show that the material is not similar to the representative material, all<br />
properties shall be re-qualified.<br />
8.6.12 A full experimental determination of a property may always be used as an alternative to using<br />
representative data or confirmation testing.<br />
8.6.13 For the qualification of adhesive materials data, see Sec.4.<br />
8.7 Confirmation testing for static data<br />
8.7.1 See Sec.4 [8.7].<br />
8.8 Confirmation testing for long term data<br />
8.8.1 See Sec.4 [8.8] and [8.9].<br />
8.9 Use of manufacturers data or data from the literature as representative data<br />
8.9.1 There is a vast amount of data available, but unfortunately data are often not well documented and<br />
essential information tends to be missing.<br />
8.9.2 This section describes under which conditions such data may be used.<br />
Safety class<br />
Low Normal High<br />
Elastic constants All rep × 1 confirm E xt or E xc and G xc<br />
others: rep × 1<br />
confirm Moduli,<br />
Poisson's ratios<br />
confirm if critical<br />
Strength and Strain to All rep × 0.9 confirm if critical confirm<br />
failure or yield<br />
Fracture Toughness<br />
Critical length In-plane rep × 0.8 confirm confirm<br />
G 1c<br />
Critical strain energy release rep × 0.8 confirm confirm<br />
rate in the fibre direction.<br />
G 2c<br />
Critical strain energy release<br />
rate in the fibre plane, normal<br />
rep × 0.8 confirm confirm<br />
to the fibre direction.<br />
Long Term Properties<br />

Stress rupture rep. confirm if critical for design confirm<br />
Static strength reduction<br />

rep. rep. confirm if critical<br />
for design<br />
8.9.3 It shall be documented that the data come from a reputable source. This can be done in the following way:<br />
— all data were taken from calibrated test equipment<br />
— data were witnessed by an independent third party or data were published and reviewed by at least two<br />
independent research teams.<br />
8.9.4 If these requirements are not met data can still be used as representative data, but all new materials data<br />
have to be confirmed against these data, even if the requirements in [8.6] do not require a confirmation.<br />
