Advanced Composites: Electromagnetic Properties, Vulnerabilities, and Protective Measures.

Alvin L. Hiebert

ResearchPublished 1977

This report discusses a measurement and analysis program for assessing the electromagnetic (EM) properties and vulnerabilities of, and protective measures for, advanced composite materials used in the design and construction of aerospace vehicles. The main objective is to suggest areas for investigation and the kind of information needed for the compilation of a database. Six areas of investigation are discussed: advanced composite materials, structural composition, and fabrication; potential use of composite materials and structures; fundamental EM parameters of advanced composites; energy sources and environments of EM hazards; EM vulnerabilities and shielding effectiveness criteria; and protective measures. Examples of measurement techniques and/or essential data are given for each. A suggested format for cataloging the information is included. 43 pp. Ref.
