Candidate composite insulation systems were tested at 295, 76, and 4 K to determine relevant elastic property data for design and analysis use in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). Vacuum-pressure-impregnated, preimpregnated, and high-pressure laminate (G-11CR) resin systems were included. One system contained a polyimide-film electrical barrier. Tests focused on the through-thickness Young’s modulus, the interlaminar shear modulus, and the in-plane shear modulus. Subsize strain gages were used to obtain through-thickness strain measurements, and strain-gage rosettes, to measure shear strains. |
