ELEVATED TEMPERATURE BEHAVIOR OF FIBERS
Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the mechanical behavior of fiber at igh temperatures for vari periods of time. These fibers are candidate materials for decelerators, and expandable and rigid structur s for atellites or space vehicles. Besides condition of extremes of temperature, these fibers will h ve to be capable of operation under shock, vibration, solar an cosmic radiation and related aerospace environ ents. Th se high temperature fibers were evaluated in filament form at temperatures ranging from 70 F (65% relative humidity) to 2000 F. Since fibers ormally were of diameters as low as 0.0003 in., special equipment and procedures were designed to obtain their basic properties. (Author)
