Abstract

Test methods leading to standards and specifications are necessary for government use and for the glass-filament winding industry. The Naval Ordnance Laboratory (NOL) ring test specimen has been used extensively for the development of such methods. It is attractive as a test vehicle because of its inherent simplicity, ease of manufacture, and high degree of reproducibility. Such a ring is adaptable to the measurement of several important mechanical strength properties under both static and dynamic loading conditions.
