Impact Studies on Ablation-Resistant Composites

摘要

The evaluation of composite configurations by the flying target technique is discussed. The critical impact pressure for epoxy-neoprane foam rubber-aluminum composite was found to be 2.6 kb. The critical impact pressure for pyrolytic graphite (surface nucleated)neoprane foam rubber-aluminum composite was also found to be in the range of 2.6 kb. It was established that the substrates have a large influence on the critical impact pressure of the composites. (Author)
