HANDBOOK OF DESIGN DATA ON ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS USED IN AEROSPACE SYSTEMS

Abstract

This handbook provides aerospace weapons system design engineers with useful data on the materials properties of elastomers. The data sources are Department of Defense research reports and the technical literature of engineering design and elastomer technology. The elastomeric materials considered are compounds of high polymers currently available in the U. S. A. The properties considered are original mechanical and physical properties and their changes that result from aging and exposure to environments of aerospace weapons systems. Elastomer compounding is only briefly treated because the handbook is intended for use by structural and mechanical engineers rather than by rubber chemists and technologists. A selected bibliography of the technical literature is included.
