Abstract

Composite materials show an extraordinary change of properties depending on service life. This implies the necessity to find tailored methods to determine strength and residual strength of composite cylinders. This determination can be done by load cycle tests [1] or, in some cases, primarily by slow burst tests [2]. The results of both test methods need statistical assessment for the precise description of strength. Especially the statistical assessment of burst related strength properties has a high uncertainty. Sample size [3] and scatter distribution were identified as major influences on uncertainty. It is unclear if a Gaussian normal distribution, a Weibull distribution or others describe the scatter behaviour correctly. An assumption has to be found and confirmed to prevent overestimation of survival rate, respectively reliability, in the interval of one failure per 104 to 108 cylinders.

Kurzfassung

Faserverbundwerkstoffe (Komposite) zeigen außergewöhnliche Veränderungen ihrer Eigenschaften in Abhängigkeit von der Betriebsdauer. Daraus leitet sich auch die Notwendigkeit ab, eine Methode zu finden, die in der Lage ist, Festigkeiten und Restfestigkeiten von Komposit-Druckbehältern zu ermitteln. Dies kann mittels Lastwechselprüfung [1] oder in anderen Fällen vorzugsweise mittels der langsamen Berstprüfung [2] erfolgen. Für eine aussagekräftige Beschreibung der Festigkeit bedürfen die Ergebnisse beider Prüfverfahren einer statistischen Auswertung. Aber insbesondere die statistische Auswertung der berstbezogenen Festigkeitseigenschaften unterliegt neben der Frage der Stichprobengröße [3] einer großen Unsicherheit mit enormen Folgen. Dies ist die Frage, welche Verteilungsfunktion der Streuung der Festigkeitseigenschaft konservativ zugrundegelegt werden darf. So ist zu untersuchen, ob die Gauß‘sche Normalverteilung (NV) die wahre Verteilung richtig beschreibt. Es könnten aber auch andere Funktionen, wie z. B. die Weibull-Verteilung notwendig sein, um eine Überschätzung der Überlebenswahrscheinlichkeit bzw. Zuverlässigkeit in dem interessanten Bereich von einem Ausfall pro 104 bis 108 Druckbehältern zu vermeiden.
