BERYLLIUM APPLICATIONS IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN,

Abstract

General weight, strength, and thermal properties of beryllium are discussed. Examples of beryllium application are given which show both weight savings and reduction of thermal stresses in high temperature environments. Specific weight reductions are demonstrated for a ballistic missile and a lunar rocket.
