Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment
Environmental conditions whose extremes may damage military equipment, or render it inoperative, are defined under seven stresses: thermal, humidity, precipitation, wind, penetration and abrasion, salt spray, and atmospheric pressure. For each of these seven stresses, the probable and practical extr...
