Identify meeting as CMH Cut-off date February 4, 2011

OVERVIEW The Composite Materials Handbook provides world-class engineering information, including databases, standards and guidelines for structural applications of composite materials. Its primary purpose is the standardization of engineering information for current and emerging composite materials. The Handbook therefore constitutes an overview of the field of composites engineering and technology in an area which is advancing and changing rapidly.

In support of this objective, the handbook includes methodology for performing a number of engineering processes associated with the design, manufacture and continued operational safety of composite materials. These processes use rigorous statistical analysis requirements to confirm acceptability. These statistical procedures are sometimes intricate and confusing to individuals that are not familiar with them.

In order to provide clarity to these procedures, a six (6) hour tutorial session will be presented as part of the next CMH-17 meeting.

This tutorial is a comprehensive treatment of the CMH-17 methods for statistical analysis and their importance to proper development of design information. Students will participate in an interactive session on the CMH-17 statistical methods, including practical example problems.

Students need to bring a laptop computer with EXCEL to participate in the interactive sessions as they will be focused on using the specialized software available: Stat17, ASAP and HYTEQ.

CMH-17 TUTORIALS AGENDA - STATISTICS

FEBRUARY 28, 2011 - MONDAY

8:00 A.M. TO 3:30 P.M.

Time Topic / Section Syllabus Instructor

8:00 a.m. to

10:00 a.m.

LECTURE: STATISTICS FOR ALLOWABLE GENERATION

Understanding A- and B-basis values and related statistical tests

This section focuses on the concepts of A- and B-basis values, what they represent and why they are important. Students will leave with a clear statistical understanding of A- and B-basis values, and an in-depth appreciation of the significance of these values in engineering applications. In addition, a user-friendly flowchart that outlines the material property basis value generation process for ASAP (Agate Statistical Analysis Program) and STAT17 will be presented. The flowchart, which was jointly created by Statistics Working Group and Data Review Working Group, emphasizes engineering rationale while ensuring statistical validity.

BREAK

10:00 a.m. to

12:15 p.m.

INTERACTIVE TUTORIAL: STATISTICS FOR

ALLOWABLE GENERATION

Includes Practical Example Problems

This interactive tutorial section will include practical example problems on how to compute engineering basis values as outlined in CMH-17. STAT17 and ASAP (AGATE Statistical Analysis Program) computes A- and B-basis values as well as other statistics. The use of engineering judgment in interpreting the software results in arriving at a final decision will be discussed.

Lunch

(Lunch not included in registration fee)

1:30 p.m.

to 2:30 p.m.

LECTURE: EQUIVALENCY DATA ANALYSIS

Understanding material equivalency and acceptance testing (material specification limits)

This section focuses on the concepts of equivalency testing, including the null hypothesis, Type I and Type II errors, the test statistics and the power of the test. Students will leave with a clear understanding of the purpose and criteria for material equivalency and acceptance testing. A modified co-efficient of variation approach for the purpose of generating interim basis values and specification limits will be explained and discussed.

INTERACTIVE TUTORIAL: EQUIVALENCY DATA

ANALYSIS

Includes Practical Example Problems

This interactive tutorial section will include practical example problems on how to compute equivalency test statistics outlined in CMH-17. HYTEQ (HYpothesis Testing of EQuivalence) computes the hypothesis test results for equivalency data. The use of engineering judgment to interpret the plethora of equivalency test results in arriving at a final decision will be discussed.

Students will receive a copy of all computer programs used during the tutorial. Students should have a laptop computer with Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007, or 2010 available to maximize their learning during the interactive statistics sessions as each student will be given problems to solve using the supplied programs.
