MONTHLY ACCESSION LIST NO. 19 ON RADIATION EFFECTS DATA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4279449
No abstract.<>13:005101The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the suitability of an aircraft tire and inner tube irradiated in Systems Panel Test No. 2 (SPT #2). The aircraft tire and inner tube irradiated in SPT #2 performed satisfactorily in dynamometer flywheel tests. A burst test of the irradiated tire showed a small decrease in the burst strength, but the tire still satisfied the specification minimum burst strength requirements. The evaluation of the materials in the irradiated tire revealed a small decrease in the tensile strength of the nylon cords used in the tire carcass. This decrease in cord tensile strength was largely due to the radiation. No change was detected in the rubber materials of the tire. Present aircraft tires could provide from one to five actual landings when subjected to radiation of the level of SPT #2. (auth)
