Abstract:

Mechanical properties of the steel cordrubber composite material used to make sonar dome rubber windows were determined. The in-plane properties of a single steel cordrubber lamina were determined. Also determined were the bending stiffnesses of 5-poly laminates, and the in-plane shear stiffness of a 5-ply laminate in torsion. Author
