An experimental investigation was made to determine the
ultimate tensile strength and elastic modulus of IM6-3501-6
graphite epoxy laminated specimens exposed to temperatures
from 70°F to 600°F. Specimens were layered (0°), (90", 0"),
(90 ° , 0° , 90° ) . The coupons used are candidate materials for
advanced tactical missile airframe design. A Material Testing
System (MTS) testing machine with 100,000 lb. maximum load
capacity was used to apply the programmed uniaxial tensile
loading. A Research Incorporated quad elliptical heating
chamber, together with temperature and power controller, were
used for maintaining the elevated temperatures. A
Measurements Group data acquisition system 4000 was used for
data acquisition and data reduction. The ultimate strength of the 12 plied composite specimen
was determined at two temperatures, 70 °F and 138 °F. The
failure of the grips precluded the determination of the
modulus at higher temperatures. The overall modulus was
obtained for the same type of specimen at several temperatures
up to 400 °F.
