Cryogenic composite supports: a review of strap and strut properties.

Author(s) : REED R. P., GOLDA M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The properties of fibre-reinforced composite straps and struts that are used for thermal isolation and mechanical support of cryogenic systems are reviewed. The review includes compilation and discussion of the mechanical (tension, compression, fatigue) and thermal (contraction, conductivity, specific heat) aspects of both structures. The role of fibre lay-up is discussed, and the two types of support modes are compared.
