APPLICATION OF MULTICONDUCTOR CABLE IN AIRCRAFT ELECTRIC SYSTEMS.

Abstract

A study of the feasibility of replacing conven tional bundled harnesses with bulk onduc tor cable has shown that weight and volume reductions are possible. Further, it is found that increased flexibility and compactness result, enchancing vibration circumstances. The details of these circumstances and an analytical treat ment of properties of bulk multiconductor cable are presented. This analytical study has shown the need for establishing relationships between material properties and geometric factors and cable flexibility. In addition, recommendations are made for improvements in the area of connec tor-to-cable transitions, mechanical and elec trical properties of multiconductor cable, and connector design concepts.
