MIL-HDBK-3F Volume 3,Chapter 4 Building Block Approach for Composite Structures 4.4.1.3 Summary of allowables and building block test efforts for DOD/NASA prototype composite air- craft structure In the above sections,composite material allowables development needed for prototype aircraft is detailed along with the related building block test effort required for such structure development.Both al- lowables requirements and building block structural test requirements are related to aircraft structure part criticality classifications and then each is related to the test/evaluation/analysis categories that need to be interrogated to study the risk involved.For allowables the categories are preliminary and final values and physical defect minimum requirements in each classification.For the building block structures develop- ment test effort categories,the procedure used is the progressive scale up of the size of the test parts along with going from single to multiple load paths and adding joints to the test structure as it gets bigger. And,finally,the relationship of the quality assurance requirements from those required for design allow- ables for flat panels to those required for major structural components to those required for full size struc- ture are presented for the six QA needs categories for each structural classification of the parts to be built. The Part A allowables effort will provide for acceptable risk and cost effective allowables for compos- ite structure prototypes.The Part B building block structures test development effort will satisfy the goals of: 1.Appropriate conceptual development, 2. Proof of concept and analytical methods development, 3. Structural verification testing for analytical methods,and 4. Structural integrity testing and FEM validations. Once these goals are achieved,the user will have acceptable risk,cost effective prototype composite air- craft structure that will have the necessary integrity and reliability needed for the specific aircraft being developed. 4.4.2 Aircraft for EMD and production A detailed description of the allowables and building block test effort needed for acceptable risk and cost effective DOD/NASA engineering and manufacturing development(EMD)and production composite aircraft structure is presented in the following sections.Section 4.4.2.1 presents the PMC composite al- lowables generation for DOD/NASA EMD and production aircraft structure.In Section 4.4.2.2,the PMC composites building block structural development for DOD/NASA EMD production aircraft is detailed.And finally,a summary of allowables and building block test efforts for DOD/NASA EMD and production com- posite aircraft structure is given in Section 4.4.2.3. 4.4.2.1 PMC composite allowables generation for DOD/NASA EMD and production aircraft structure Allowables generation is needed to support the building block test program depicted in Figure 4.4.2.1.
