Test Panels for Materials Library

Working on rounding up and laminating some of the first test panels for the Materials Library! Starting with common hand layup, infused and pre-preg parts. Making panels oversize and trimming to 12″x12″ and 12″x1″ strips for some basic bending tests. I have an old Chatillon tension/compression tester that I’m going to try to get working – hoping to do some very basic stress/strain and failure-mode info do the line – not for actual engineering but more for comparisons between panels.

E-glass/Corecell foam on left, single-skin glass, and carbon/foam on the right – with WEST System epoxy.

Still trying to figure out how to present the information well without having things get confusing or really hard to manage.
