Fiscal Year: 1987Title: SIMPLIFIED COMPOSITE STRUCTURE JOINING TECHNIQUES FOR SPACE APPLICATIONSAgency / Branch: DOD / ARMYContract: N/AAward Amount: $49,498.00
Abstract:
THE POTENTIAL FOR USING COMPOSITE MATERIALS IN CONSTRUCTING SPACE STATION ENVIRONMENTS APPEARS TO BE DESIRABLE DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL PAYLOAD WEIGHT SAVINGS OF POLYMER COMPOSITES, AS COMPARED TO MOVING MORE CONVENTIONAL MATERIALS FROM EARTH. IN THE HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT OF SPACE, JOINTS MUST BE HIGHLY STABLE AND RELIABLE, AS WELL AS BEING SIMPLE TO MANUFACTURE. CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR JOINING, AS USED HERE ON EARTH, MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR MAY BE OVER-DESIGNED FOR USE IN SPACE. THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THESE SPACE STRUCTURES ARE LIGHT WEIGHT, HIGH RIGIDITY, ENVIRONMENTAL DURABILITY, AND EASE OF ASSEMBLY. THE PROPOSED EFFORT IS TO DEVELOP THE SIMPLEST POSSIBLE JOINING TECHNIQUE WHICH MEETS THESE GOALS.Small Business Information at Submission:Principal Investigator:
