MEASUREMENT OF THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF VARIOUS AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL MATERIALS

Abstract

Thermal expansion, specific heat, and thermal conductivity properties were measured for six structural panels and cores through a temperature range from -100 to 600 degrees F. In addition, some physical tests were made on these materials. The materials covered in the investigation consisted of one asbestos-resin laminate, three fiberglass-resin laminates, and two fiberglass-resin fluted core sandwich panels. The test procedures and equipment used in the thermal property evaluations are modifications of the procedure described in WADC TR 54-306 according to MIL and Federal specifications. (Author-PL).
