F.8.3 Composite Anti Intrusion Plate‌

F.8.3.1 Composite AIP must not fail in a frontal impact.

F.8.3.2 Strength of the AIP must be verified by one of the following methods.

a. Physical testing of the Anti Intrusion plate as part of the Impact Attenuator dynamic test per F.8.7.5 and F.8.7.6

b. Laminate material testing and calculations of 3 point bending and perimeter shear analysis per F.8.3.3 and F.8.3.4

F.8.3.3 Composite laminate materials must be tested under F.4.3.1 and F.4.3.4

F.8.3.4 Analysis of the AIP under 3 point bending must show the AIP does not fail under a static load of 120 kN distributed over the 200 mm x 100 mm minimum Impact Attenuator area.
