INVESTIGATION INTO THE USE OF PLASTIC MATERIALS AND LIGHT-WEIGHT (SANDWICH) STRUCTURES
Abstract
An investigation was made into the use of plastic materials and lightweight (sandwich) structures as components of rocket launchers. Results of the individual studies indicate that the use of honeycomb sandwich construction for structural components of rocket launchers is feasible where a high rigidity-to-weight ratio is required. Use of the material in certain areas of launcher construction will result in appreciable weight reduction over conventional materials and fastening methods. (Author)
