About this document
Carbon Fiber Crossbar Failure Analysis by harrypotter082003 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper analyzes the fracture failure of a carbon fiber thin wall crossbar used in a satellite ring antenna truss structure, which experienced damage during deployment tests. The study identifies that pre-existing interlaminar damage and local cracks in the crossbar led to a decline in stiffness and eventual buckling failure. To prevent such failures, the authors recommend implementing ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods to ensure thorough inspection of the rods for defects.
