Damping Characteristics of a Composite-Reinforced Stainless-Steel Tube

摘要

The investigation of damping characteristics of composite-steel laminates was initiated for the Naval Underwater Systems Center in March 1987. Phase I of the Composite Damping Task consists of fabricating a hoop-wound, fiber reinforced stainless-steel tube and comparing the damping characteristics to that of a ''bare'' stainless-steel tube. This report summarizes the activities initiated under Phase I of this project performed at the Enrichment Technology Applications Center, Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. (ERA citation 12:046023)
