Reliability of Composite Zero-Expansion Structures for Use in Orbital Environment /
Composite sandwich structures, composed of graphite-epoxy face sheets on aluminum honeycomb core, were found to successfully withstand 15 000 thermal cycles between -250 and 150°F (-157 and 66°C) in vacuum. Although thermal cycling induced microcracking in the face sheets, laminate flexural and tens...
