| Abstract Scope |
Designs for next-generation aerospace components come with increasingly complex geometric designs and requirements on survivability in extreme environmental conditions that necessitate new processing routes and/or material compositions to withstand. For particularly high temperature, heat-flux, and oxidative environments, ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTC) are of interest but suffer from monolithic brittle behavior. UHTC matrix composites (UHTCMCs) offer the potential to improve fracture toughness through fiber toughening mechanisms. Here, we present an overview of work on ultra-high temperature ceramics and composites aimed at use in extreme environments expected for next-generation aerospace systems. Particular focus includes modeling and experimental driven composition design and fabrication UHTCMCs utilizing both conventional (wet lay-up) and novel (additive manufacturing) processing techniques. |
