Research and Development of S-1C Heat Shield Honeycomb Panels.

摘要

This report describes the work accomplished on Research and Development of S-1C Heat Shield Panels utilizing brazed stainless steel honeycomb sandwich construction for the period January 29, 1963, to January 29, 1964, inclusive. The principal effort in this program was the stress, thermal and design analysis of two S-1C heat shield panel designs which differed by virtue of the panel mounting system. As a consequence of this analytical study and the NASA S-1C Heat Shield Panel Tests conducted at Wylie Laboratories, either panel design appears to satisfy the S-1C requirements provided the M-31 insulation is retained on the panel by deformation of the honeycomb insulation reinforcement. Additional items investigated include: (1) Application of Beryllium Sheet to S-1C Heat Shield panels. (2) Deflection Characteristics of M- 31 Insulation with Deformed Stainless Steel Honeycomb Reinforcement. (3) Analysis of Braze Defects, Braze Quality Standards and Repair Methods. (3) Analysis of Holes in Heat Shield Panels and Experimental Measurements of Stresses at Hole Boundaries. (5) Design Recommendations for Heat Shield Panels.
