METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITE SABOT WITH IMPROVED INTERFACIAL CHARACTERISTICS BY USING SHORT FIBER

摘要

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite sabot for use in APFSDS (Armor Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot) which has improved strength to weight ratio with low weight and high strength by using one-directional fiber prepreg ply lamination method. In order to prevent delamination of the radially laminated composite sabot, short fibers are deposited on the interfacial plane thereby spreading the expansion force to fiber as well as the resin.
