Name: 471-Composite Repair Design with Practical Application
Description:
This course prepares the student to submit composite repairs to Boeing for damage that is beyond the limits of the Structural Repair Manual. It also prepares the student to perform common repairs to composite sandwich structure. This course includes detailed information on composite material properties, failure modes, stress analysis, design requirements and SRM repair comparisons. It also includes practical hands-on exercises in which students make composite repairs to carbon composite sandwich structure.
Objectives: Upon completion of the course the student will be able to:
- Identify the types and applications of composite materials on Boeing aircraft.
- Identify the principal steps in common SRM composite repair processes.
- Identify common SRM composite repair options.
- Identify composite repair facility and material storage requirements.
- Manage cure cycles and thermocouples.
- Perform vacuum bagging procedures with leak test verification.
- Taper sand and locate ply boundaries and orientations.
- Perform wet lay-up and prepreg bonded repairs to carbon sandwich facesheets and cores.
- Use specialized equipment like Heatcon hotbonders.
- Reduce the time necessary for the Boeing composite repair submittal and approval process.
- Verify repairs through stiffness calculations and use of sound composite design principles.
- Describe details of stress analysis, such as micro-mechanics and laminated plate theory.
- Identify the appropriate composite repair option from the SRM.
