Research Abstract

Damage behavior and fuel leakage through the accumulated damages in carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) under cyclic loadings were experimentally investigated to evaluate the applicability of CFRP to the cryogenic fuel tanks of space launch vehicles. Formation and accumulation behavior of microcracks and its relation to the fuel leakage were clarified. It was shown that CFRP laminates exhibit no leakage up to the specific load level, even when some damages are induced.
