Testing of Reinforced Plastics at Elevated Temperatures: Description of a Test Programme Designed to Evaluate the Effect of Temperature Variation on Mechanical Properties

Abstract

WITH the development of supersonic aircraft there is an increasing requirement for structural materials operating at elevated temperatures. To ensure optimum utilization of reinforced plastics it is essential to provide the designer with accurate data on performance at these temperatures.
