Composite Material Design Specs

The document provides design properties and calculations for CSM and WRM composite materials. It includes properties like tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, fiber content, resin ratio, and thickness. Safety factors are calculated for different conditions. Allowable design loads are then determined based on limiting factors like strain and strength.

2 CALCULATION OF SAFETY FACTOR
a Factor for Method of Manufacturing = Hand Lay-Up
K1 = 1.50
b Factor for Strength Loss = yes
Strength Loss = N/A
K2 = 1.30 SINCE TP LINING
