- Surface testing has proven that sharp objects striking with
a fair amount of force will penetrate wood but will only mar
the surface of the carbon fiber panel. |
|
|
|
- The first page of tests also showed that the carbon fiber sandwich
core panels can resist puncture but also resist compression from
impact loads. |
|
|
|
- The second page of testing showed almost no apparent signs
of concrete floor impact on the mirror cell. The cell makes a
very loud and high pitched noise on impact. So loud that hearing
protection was warn after the first few drops. |
|
|
|
- The combination of: low void, high fiber, high stiffness
and high strength all contribute to the characteristics shown
during these tests. |
|
|
- These tests were designed to illustrate the quality of design
and fabrication of Dream components. As well as to debug some
common misconceptions about "all" carbon fiber, namely
that it is brittle and/or frail. |
