摘要
Recent hydroburst tests of Kevlar/epoxy composite pressure vessels showed losses in strength when subjected to extended periods of high temperature and high humidity. These pressure vessels had served to monitor the aging characteristics of Rocket Motor Cases during Engineering Development tests. Since KKevlar was a relatively new material replacing fiberglass in this application, it was considered important that these results be verified in a controlled experiment utilizing accelerated aging methods. To measure these effects, two series of tenth-scale models of Rocket Motor Cases were fabricated, which included two different resin systems and two very different design concepts. Hydroburst tests of these aged vessels showed Kevlar to have much less degradation than fiberglass. Actual values were determined to be dependent on the resin system used also dependent upon the dryness of the composite at the time of test.
