Some Polyethylene Balloon Statistics
Item
- Title
- Some Polyethylene Balloon Statistics
- Description
-
Some pertinent details of the balloon-data-sorting program are presented together with general descriptions of the balloons studied.
The cross section of designs and the quantities thereof, though not extremely large, represent probably the best study sample taken to date.
Fairly conclusive evidence is presented that environmental temperatures at or below the cold brittle transition temperature of polyethylene are not sufficient to produce balloon burst. Finally, it is shown that ambient launch temperature appears to be a critical factor both statistically and from an engineering viewpoint. - Format

Some pertinent details of the balloon-data-sorting program are presented together with general descriptions of the balloons studied.
The cross section of designs and the quantities thereof, though not extremely large, represent probably the best study sample taken to date.
Fairly conclusive evidence is presented that environmental temperatures at or below the cold brittle transition temperature of polyethylene are not sufficient to produce balloon burst. Finally, it is shown that ambient launch temperature appears to be a critical factor both statistically and from an engineering viewpoint. - Extent
