Materials for Air-Mobile Structures.

Abstract

The objective of this research effort was to identify and catalog the engineering properties of commercially available, advanced composite materials with potential for use in lightweight shelter construction. A number of commercially available, potentially air-mobile, protective shelter construction materials were identified and divided into four main categories: Composites, Cores, Adhesives, and Ballistic Materials. The best materials in each category were described and a brief summary of each materials engineering properties was presented. The manufacturer of every material was identified.
