Investigation of Penetration of Electromagnetic Energy through Joints in Advanced Composite Structures.

Abstract

The objectives of this effort are to conduct an investigation of the effects of electromagnetic energy on advanced composite aircraft structures and their associated avionic/electrical equipment. The primary objective of this investigation is to develop test techniques to evaluate the coupling of electromagnetic energy through joints in the composite materials within the frequency range 10 kHz to GHz. A test setup will be designed, fabricated, and checked out to perform measurements over a portion of this frequency range and joint admittance data will be obtained on a variety of strucutral joint samples. At the conclusion of this investigation, the test fixture will be delivered to NASC.
