MECHANICAL TESTING OF SILICA PHENOLIC COMPOSITES AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES

Abstract

The principal objective of this study was to determine the mechanical properties, tensile yield, ultimate strength, and Young's modulus of elasticity of a silica fabric reinforced phenolic composite at temperatures above the cure level. The proposed application for this class of material as an ablative liner of a rocket nozzle skirt extension requires such engineering data for temperatures ranging up to 3000F so that design safety margins can be based on a thermostructural analysis.
