BERYLLIUM COMPOSITE STRUCTURES. VOLUME 1. DESIGN AND APPLICATION

Abstract

Design information is presented for Be and ceramic composite structures for re-entry vehicle applications. A summary of materials and process developments for Be panels and heat shield ceramics, analytical evaluations, and discussion of application of insulated structural concepts to re-entry vehicle systems are included. Also included are the results of panel tests in the severe environments of turbojet and ramjet exhausts. Data suitable for preliminary design considerations are presented for three reinforced heat shield ceramic foams: Al203, SiO2, and ZrO2. Be sandwich panels constructed in the course of the program are described with regard to fabrication potential and performance in aerospace structures.
