Investigating Coupled Thermal, Mechanical, and Electrical Phenomena in High-Temperature Materials using Thermal Wave Sensors
Abstract
Investigate specific materials ability to resist thermal shock, thermal cycle fatigue, and thermal runaway; model and experimentally test how the dynamics of microcrack formation and growth as well as the temperature dependence of thermal and electrical transport properties control these electrothermal and thermo-mechanical stabilities. The work should directly facilitate a deeper understanding of how to control thermal, electrical, and mechanical behavior in high temperature materials leading to the future development of superior composite materials with enhanced performance and stability. Additionally, the measurement tools developed in this work will enable the future multi-physics real-time investigation of coupled thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties in almost any solid material at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees C.
