The total number of fragments is a function of vessel size and periiaps other parameters. Holden (1985) gives a correlation based on 7 incidents as equation 9.1-35. where F is the number of fragments and V is the vessel volume in m for the range 700 to 2,500 m. [Pg.345]

The velocity of a fragment is estimated from Moore (1967) equation 9.1-36, where u is the initial velocity in ft/s, [Pg.345]

The next step is to estimate the lift/drag ratio [Pg.346]

ranges from 0.47 to 2.05 for a long rectangular fragment perpendicular to the air flow. Take Cp = [Pg.346]

Another application of laser-based profilometry is the inspection of rocket and missile components. The U.S. Air Force has funded work to develop a non-contact laser-based profilometer for the inside surface of solid rocket motors. Over time, these devices are subject to slumping and cracking, which could potentially render the rocket motor ineffective and hazardous. When fully implemented, this system will provide a meaningful screening method for evaluating the condition of aging rocket motors. [Pg.1066]

Beryllium is used as an alloying agent in producing beryllium copper, which is extensively used for springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes, and non-sparking tools. It is applied as a structural material for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and communication satellites. Other uses include windshield frame, brake discs, support beams, and other structural components of the space shuttle. [Pg.12]

Titanium is important as an alloying agent with aluminum, molybdenum, manganese, iron, and other metals. Alloys of titanium are principally used for aircraft and missiles where lightweight strength and ability to withstand extremes of temperature are important. [Pg.76]

It is used in certain nickel-based alloys, such as the "Hastelloys(R)" which are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant to chemical solutions. Molybdenum oxidizes at elevated temperatures. The metal has found recent application as electrodes for electrically heated glass furnaces and foreheaths. The metal is also used in nuclear energy applications and for missile and aircraft parts. Molybdenum is valuable as a catalyst in the refining of petroleum. It has found applications as a filament material in electronic and electrical applications. Molybdenum is an... [Pg.78]

The clean, durable, nondust-forrning character of polyethylene foam has led to its acceptance in packaging missile parts (230). Polyethylene foam sheet has also displaced polystyrene foam sheet for packaging glass bottles and containers because of its greater resUiency and tear resistance. [Pg.416]

The development of the principles of nucleation and growth eady in the twentieth century (2) ultimately led to the discovery that certain nucleating agents can induce a glass to crystallize with a fine-grained, highly uniform microstmcture that offers unique physical properties (3). The first commercial glass-ceramic products were missile nose cones and cookware. [Pg.319]

Propellants and Explosives. Hydrazine fuels include anhydrous hydrazine (AH), monomethyUiydrazine (MMH), and unsymmetrical dimethyUiydrazine (UDMH) for military and space programs. These compounds are used mainly as bipropeUant fuels, ie, with oxidizers, in rockets such as the Titan, MX missile, and the Ariane (UDA4H7X30. Using oxygen or fluorine as the oxidizer, hydrazine is exceeded only by hydrogen in specific impulse, ie, kilograms of thmst developed for each kilogram of fuel consumed per second (196). [Pg.291]

Propellant. The catalytic decomposition of 70% hydrogen peroxide or greater proceeds rapidly and with sufficient heat release that the products are oxygen and steam (see eq. 5). The thmst developed from this reaction can be used to propel torpedoes and other small missiles (see Explosives and propellants). An even greater amount of energy is developed if the hydrogen peroxide or its decomposition products are used as an oxidant with a variety of fuels. [Pg.481]

Perfluoroalkyl ether greases thickened with polytetrafluoroethylene (MIL-G-38220 and MIL-G-27617) are used from —40 to 200°C in missiles, aircraft, and appHcations where fuel, oil, and Hquid oxygen resistance is needed (55). Polyphenyl ether greases find special use from 10 to 315°C in high vacuum diffusion pumps and for radiation resistance. [Pg.248]
