Notes
The exact table heading is T300/DFVLR BSL914C epoxy. NASA-TM-107331 says the pristine unidirectional-composite data were provided by the World-Wide Failure Exercise organizers; it does not present them as NASA measurements. PropLib imports only the table's pristine ply column, not the separate ICAN-calibrated column or any failure-envelope digitization. The BSL/DFVLR variant, unspecified cure/batch/test context and absence of statistics prevent this from being a generic 914C qualification allowable.
