Radiographic Techniques for Examining the Filament-Wound Tire.

Abstract

The report contains a description of the evaluation of a radiographic technique for examining filament-wound tires (FWT) having a continuous cross section. Data is given which establishes a nondestructive testing (NDT) technique having high resolution and contrast. Results indicate that radiography is useful for determining filament orientation, the presence of cut cord, lack of bond, and rubber density variations. The technique is applicable to conventional aircraft tires which have a sidewall thickness equivalent to that of the FWT. (Author, modified-PL).
