Under increasing strain the propint volume increases from the voids created around the unbonded solid particles. Nonlinearities in Young s modulus and Poisson s ratio then occur. Francis (Ref 50) shows this effect for a carboxy-terminated polybutadiene composite propellant with 14% binder as in Figure 12. He concludes that nonlinearities in low-temperature properties reduce the predicted stress and strain values upon cooling a solid motor, and therefore a structural analysis that neglects these effects will be conservative. However, when the predictions are extended to a pressurized fiberglas motor case, the nonlinearities in properties produce greater strains than those predicted with linear analysis... 

Prediction of the service life of the solid propint third-stage Minuteman motor has been made by Chappell (Ref 48). This motor has a fiberglas case and a cast double-base grain. The motor parameters on which the structural...

Figures 4 and 5 show significant differences in thoron progeny activity plated-out on cotton cloth and emery paper (Figure 4), and cotton cloth and Fiberglas filters (Figure 5). Differences between the other pair of materials were less pronounced or difficult to ascertain (<7 ).

I and Table III for emery cloth as having the lowest plated-out activity. However, there is disagreement between cotton cloth and Fiberglas. This difference shows with both the weak and strong reference sources (see Table III). This experimental observation seems to rule out spurious or systematic errors.

Asbestos fibers are found worldwide in many products as reinforcement in cement water pipes and the inert and durable mesh material used in filtration processes of chemicals and petroleum, for example. However, asbestos is not the only inorganic fiber in use today. Synthetic inorganic fibers abound. Glass fibers have replaced copper wire in some intercontinental telephone cables. Fiberglas (a trade name) has become the insulation material of choice in construction. Carbon and graphite fiber composites are favored materials for tennis racket frames and golf clubs. Fibrous inorganic materials have become commonplace in our everyday lives. 

Fig. I.IB illustrates fibers typical of commercial asbestos, while Fig. l.ll shows Fiberglas and Fig. I.IJ silicon carbide whiskers. Some of the fibers in these examples are bent, occasionally through 180°, indicating considerable flexibility. Whiskers of other compounds can also bend but the tensile strength of these materials is their most remarkable feature. The measured values (Table 1.2) are at least ten times higher than those observed for the same compounds in bulk or in another morphology (Walker and Zoltai, 1979). The numerous investigations into the causes of this unique response have produced several hypotheses.

Compatibility of ethanol with tank and piping materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and Fiberglas is good. Zinc linings and epoxy linings are not stable in ethanol systems and are not recommended for use. Also, epoxy adhesives and resins are dissolved by ethanol. Teflon and nylon are compatible elastomers. In... 

Mild deton fuze is smaller than type (2) it is used to transfer detons, and has a metal sheath 4) Confined deton fuze is similar to type (3) except that the metal sheath is wrapped in fiberglas and polyethylene to contain the fragments 5) Flexible linear shaped charge is a detong cord with a V-shaped cross-section used to cut metal...

The bulk of polyester production in the United States has gone to the synthetic coatings field in the manufacture of glyptal resin coatings and varnishes, with production between 200,000,000 and 300,000,000 pounds in the postwar years. A recent development has been the use of polyester-styrene copolymers reinforced by Fiberglas for the manufacture of items such as low-pressure molded boats, corrugated structural sheet, and plastic pipe. The 1947 requirements for glycerol in the production of polyester resins and...

Sagger. NATO code-name for a Russ anti-tank missile, also known by the US alphanumeric designation AT-3, which is currently extensively deployed in Europe and elsewhere. In its man-portable version, the missile is carried into action in a Fiberglas case in which the warhead is separated from the motor. The lid of the case forms a base for launching the missile which has a launch rail on the underside of the motor section. The two parts are taken out of the case and the front legs of the rail on the motor section are slotted into the lid so that there is a small angle of elevation. This is done to ensure that the missile enters the operator s field of view when launched. The warhead (HEAT, piezo-electric fuze) is then clipped to the body.
