SR-52 Magnetic Card Calculator Solutions to Composite Materials Workbook.

Abstract

This is a companion volume to AFML-TR-78-33, 'Composite Materials Workbook.' Both workbook and its solutions are intended to present to the users of composite materials a set of tools to solve most commonly encountered problems in design and testing. Attempts are made to simplify both the operational and conceptual aspects. Subjects are selected from the standpoint of practical application rather than elegance. Programmable pocket calculators, preferably with magnetic card capability, are found to be most suitable to perform the calculations in the workbook. In this report, the description, operating instructions, program listing, and sample problems for these calculations have been compiled for Texas Instruments SR-52. It is believed that composite materials are simple in concept and easy to describe quantitatively with the aid of card programmable calculators. The performance characteristics of composite materials can now be fully appreciated and utilized. (Author)
