TY - CONF A1 - Trappe, Volker A1 - Ortwein, Hans-Peter A1 - Hickmann, Stefan T1 - Infinite life of CFRP evaluated nondestructively with X-ray-refraction topography T2 - ICCM19 - 19th International conference on composite materials (Proceedings) N2 - CFRP are more and more used in modern civil aircrafts hence the whole fuselage is made of this material (B787; A350). Due to strict certification Standards finally the normal in-service loading gives a low stress level compared to the static and even the fatigue strength of the material. Hence CFRP are assumed to have an infinite life. To evaluate this assumption, fatigue tests on CFRP-specimens were performed up to 108 load cycles. The first inter-fiber failure was evaluated non-destructively by the fatigue tests accompanying X-ray-refraction topography altemately and in-situ mechanical loading. The basic idea of the investigation is represented in fig. 1. At low load levels it could not be assumed the total failure of the samples. Hence accompanying non-destructive testing (NDT) is mandatory to get information about the damage state of the material.
