Ballistic and Material Testing Procedures and Test Results for Composite Samples for the TIGER Helicopter Vulnerability Project

Abstract

The report describes procedures established for ballistic and material testing of composite samples in relation to the project on Battle Damage Repair and Vulnerability Studies (support to AIR87). Material tests of the samples involve measurements of the strength properties with Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The device designed and built up in WSD is briefly described. The report summarises the protocol and principal results of the ballistic and material tests.
