EMP Test Plan for Evaluating the Shielding Effectiveness of the B-1 Avionics Bay Access Door Utilizing a Slant Coil Spring as the EMP Shield

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0909424 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objective of this EMP test is to obtain experimental data on the shielding effectiveness of a simulated B-1 bomber avionics bay access door utilizing a slant coil spring compressed against the conductive, corrosion- resistant surface of the avionics bay structure, which provides the EMP seal. EMP shielding effectiveness tests will be performed on a simulated access door installed with various spacing of the slant spring gap to provide an indication of degradation due to wear. Author
