F.7.1 General Requirements

F.7.1.1  The Structural Equivalency Spreadsheet must demonstrate that the design is equivalent to a welded frame in terms of energy dissipation, yield and ultimate strengths in bending, buckling and tension.

F.7.1.2  Composite and metallic monocoques have the same requirements.

F.7.1.3  Corners between panels used for structural equivalence must contain core

F.7.1.4 Composite monocoques must: a. Meet the materials requirements in F.4 Composite and Other Materials
b. Use data from the laminate testing results as the basis for any strength or stiffness calculations.
