New ASTM Committee F44 to Develop Standards That Will Streamline Certification Process, Empower Innovation, ASTM International announces the formation of Committee F44 on General Aviation Aircraft , bringing together global stakeholders to work on a standards roadmap that will help transform the way smaller aircraft are manufactured and certified around the world. The new ASTM Committee F44 was formed at the request of aviation industry organizations in support of the efforts of the Federal Aviation…, Driving Change through ASTM Consensus Standards, The efforts of Committee F44 will play a critical role in supporting the overhaul of Part 23 regulations into what the FAA envisions as more of a performance-based document. Industry-driven F44 standards for the design and airworthiness of general aviation aircraft will serve to better align aircraft certification requirements with the type of operation the aircraft will experience. “Simplified,…, ASTM International: Global Heritage in Aviation Standards Development, ASTM’s broad portfolio of aviation-related standards has been created through the work of its existing technical committees dedicated to the field, including F07 on Aerospace and Aircraft , F37 on Light Sport Aircraft and F39 on Aircraft Systems . More than 20 Committee F37 standards have been cited by the FAA in regulations governing light sport aircraft. Similar to the membership of the Part 23…, ASTM Staff Contact:, Christine DeJong, Phone: 610-832-9736; cdejong@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler; Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org R elease #9242

New Advanced Ceramics Standards from ASTM Cover Fracture Mirror Size Analysis, Tensile Strength DataSubcommittee C28.01 on Mechanical Properties and Performance, part of ASTM International Committee C28 on Advanced Ceramics, has recently approved two new standards, ASTM C1678 , Practice for Fractographic Analysis of Fracture Mirror Sizes in Ceramics and Glasses, and ASTM C1683 , Practice for Size Scaling of Tensile Strengths Using Weibull Statistics for Advanced Ceramics., ASTM C1678 —Bringing Consistency to Fracture Mirror Size Analysis, Fracture mirror size analysis is a powerful quantitative tool for the interpretation of broken ceramic and glass articles. While this type of analysis can be used to determine the stress in a part at the instant of fracture, inspection and interpretation procedures have often varied, resulting in uncertainty in stress estimates. ASTM C1678, Practice for Fractographic Analysis of Fracture Mirror…, ASTM C1683 —Scaling Strength Values, ASTM C1683, Practice for Size Scaling of Tensile Strength Using Weibull Statistics for Advanced Ceramics, provides methodology to convert fracture strength parameters estimated from data obtained with one test geometry to strength parameters representing other test geometries. Stephen Duffy, chair of civil engineering, Cleveland State University, and C28 member, says that companies producing…
