In this project PPRIME will be responsible for test with explosive decompression, in-situ characterisation of tearing strength, mechanical behaviour of the interface at the microscale (nanoindentation) – modelling for test understanding, interpretation and parameters identification. Personnel: Prof. Jean-Claude Grandidier: Multi-physics/multi-scale couplings, mechanics of composite materials Prof. Marco Gigliotti: durability and ageing of organic composite materials … Read more

The role of UNICAL in the project has involved ex-situ characterization of the peel strength of adhesively bonded joints representative of the structure of the tanks. The characterization of the tearing strength of various adhesive types has been carried out, classifying the layered structures through their response recorded in floating roller peel tests. In addition, … Read more
