Description
Summary:The work reported herein represents a preliminary evaluation of support ring concepts for an advanced terminal interceptor (ATI). An ultra-high- modulus graphite/epoxy subscale cone was fabricated and a wedge shaped ring was secondary bonded internally. The cone and ring were successfully tested beyond ultimate load at both RT and 325F. A unique helicoil attachment concept for transferring load into the ring was demonstrated.
