Design and Performance of Mechanically Attached Low Z Armour Tiles for the NET Integrated FW

1991 
The thermomechanical performance of radiatively and conductively cooled armour variants has been comparatively evaluated via parametric 2-D transient elastic F.E. calculations, and the design of a remotely maintainable radiatively cooled carbon based armour compatible with the reference NET integrated FW developed. The scope of the paper covers the comparative thermomechanical analysis, the detailed design of the armour scheme, RH features and maintenance procedure. An evaluation of the erosion of carbon based FW armour operating in the different temperature ranges is also reported.
