The word “can” is used in this standard to express capabilities or possibilities, and therefore, if not accompanied by one of the previous words, it implies descriptive text. NOTE In ECSS “may” and “can” have completely different meanings: “may” is normative (permission), and “can” is descriptive. e. The present and past tenses are used in this standard to express statements of fact, and therefore they imply descriptive text. SIST EN 16603-32-08:2016



EN 16603-32-08:2016 (E) 10 4 Requirements 4.1 General a. The supplier shall perform the review of materials for structures to be used in space at Materials, Mechanical Parts and Processes Control Board (MPCB) in conformance with requirements from clause 4.2.3 of ECSS-Q-ST-70.
NOTE
This clause covers only structural subjects affecting materials for use in space projects. 4.2 Functionality 4.2.1 Strength a. The material strength shall be established for the worst combination of mechanical and thermal effects expected during its lifetime. NOTE
The strength of a material is highly dependent on the direction as well as on the sign of the applied load, e.g. axial tensile, transverse compressive, and others. Structural subjects are covered in ECSS-E-ST-32. 4.2.2 Elastic modulus a. For composites, the specified elastic modulus shall be verified by test on representative samples, in tension and in compression directions. NOTE 1 For metallic and alloy, it can be based on values certified by the manufacturer. NOTE 2 The elastic modulus defined as the ratio between the uniaxial stress and the strain (e.g. Young’s modulus, compressive modulus, shear modulus) is for metals and alloys weakly dependant on heat-treatment and orientation. However, for fibre reinforced materials, the elastic modulus depends on the fibre orientation. SIST EN 16603-32-08:2016



EN 16603-32-08:2016 (E) 11 4.2.3 Fatigue a. For all components subject to alternating stresses, it shall be demonstrated that the degradation of material properties over the complete mission remains within the specified limits. NOTE
Fatigue fracture can form in components which are subjected to alternating stresses. These stresses can exist far below the allowed static strength of the material. For fracture control, see ECSS-E-ST-32-01. 4.2.4 Fracture toughness a. For homogeneous materials the Kic or Kiscc shall be measured according to procedures approved by the customer at MPCB. b. Metallic materials intended for use in corrosive surface environments shall be tested for fracture. NOTE
The fracture toughness is a measure of the damage tolerance of a material containing initial flaws or cracks. The fracture toughness in metallic materials is described by the plain strain value of the critical stress intensity factor. The fracture toughness depends on the environment. For fracture control, see ECSS-E-ST-32-01. 4.2.5 Creep a. A risk analysis shall be performed to assess the risk of creeping. b. If analysis specified in 4.2.5a confirms that creep can occur, the creep testing campaign to be performed shall be agreed with the customer at MPCB. NOTE
Creep is a time-dependant deformation of a material under an applied load. It usually occurs at elevated temperature, although some materials creep at room temperature. If permitted to continue indefinitely, creep terminates in rupture. Extrapolations from simple to complex stress-temperature time conditions are difficult. 4.2.6 Micro-yielding a. A risk analysis shall be performed to assess the risk of micro-yielding. N

The fracture toughness is a measure of the damage tolerance of a material containing initial flaws or cracks. The fracture toughness in metallic materials is described by the plain strain value of the critical stress intensity factor. The fracture toughness depends on the environment. For fracture control, see ECSS-E-ST-32-01. 4.2.5 Creep a. A risk analysis shall be performed to assess the risk of creeping. b. If analysis specified in 4.2.5a confirms that creep can occur, the creep testing campaign to be performed shall be agreed with the customer at MPCB. NOTE
Creep is a time-dependant deformation of a material under an applied load. It usually occurs at elevated temperature, although some materials creep at room temperature. If permitted to continue indefinitely, creep terminates in rupture. Extrapolations from simple to complex stress-temperature time conditions are difficult. 4.2.6 Micro-yielding a. A risk analysis shall be performed to assess the risk of micro-yielding. NOTE
Micro-yielding can have an impact in the dimensional stability. b. When the analysis specified in 4.2.6a predicts that micro-yielding can occur in an element, the dimensional stability of the element shall be verified by testing.
