Investigation of Kevlar Fiber Cables for Use in ASW Sonobuoys

John P. Brett, R. Holler

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

Abstract : The initial phase of an investigation of kevlar fibers for application in ASW sonobuoy cables has been completed. The tensile and elongation properties of kevlar have been shown to be comparable to steel, and electro-mechanical cables constructed of kevlar have been shown to perform better than equivalent size steel cables. Further investigation to optimize the use of kevlar and to assure consistent results under rigorous testing is planned.
