Systems-level design of high-temperature composite materials and structures research utilization of fiber architectures and matrix compositions

Abstract

The DOD, industry, and the academic communities have several past and current programs with the overall objective to improve the materials and structures to address a system-level design for the utilization of various fiber architectures and matrix compositions for high temperature composites used in hypersonic aircraft structures. Thermal and mechanical testing of geometrically complex representative parts, inspection techniques performed to detect any damage or manufacturing defects should provide data for developing system analysis models. The fabrication of composite parts using different fiber architectures, matrix materials, and manufacturing processes, and thermal mechanical property should be investigated. Comparison by analytical methods should be performed to compare the anticipated operational performance of future hypersonic vehicle parts fabricated from the different materials systems.
