Burn/Blast Tests of Miscellaneous Graphite Composite Parts.

Abstract

This report describes the work performed by the Naval Surface Weapons Center on tests conducted for NASA, Langley Research Center for a series of burn/blast tests with various graphite-reinforced composite materials and aircraft components. These tests were a continuation of a series requested by NASA, and, as in previous tests, information concerning the effects of fire and/or explosion upon aircraft structural composite materials and size distribution and dissemination patterns of released fiber materials for risk analyses was obtained. Electrical hazards associated with the released fibers should be the same with these materials as with previously tested materials, but final risk assessment is dependent also on other factors being investigated under the overall NASA program.
