Advanced Composite Applications for Spacecraft and Missiles. Volume II. Material Development.
Abstract
This report describes material development property testing and environmental testing of advanced composites for use in spacecraft and missiles. Mechanical and physical properties of boron/epoxy, boron/aluminum, high-strength and high-modulus graphite/ epoxy systems were determined at temperatures from -320 F to +350 F. Effects of moisture, fungus, thermal shock, thermal cycling, and acoustic vibration tests are described. A design allowable test program on three specific systems (Courtald's HT-S/X-904, Celanese GY-70/HM-S/X-904, and BORSIC/ A1 monolayer diffusion-bonded composites) WERE PERFORMED TO SATISFY STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS.
