A graphite/epoxy compression panel for the space shuttle.Martin Marietta fabricated a hat-section-stiffened compression panel of graphite/epoxy composite that was analyzed to optimize the structural configuration and material distribution. The fabrication processes developed were modified following the appearance of several problems associated with the unique physical properties of the material. Quality control processes were developed, with emphasis in the areas of ultrasonics and X-ray.
