Thermal and dynamic mechanical behavior of epoxy composites reinforced with post-consumed yerba mate

Roberta Motta Neves et al.

Summary: The study revealed that using YM as a reinforcement in epoxy resin composites has positive effects, especially at lower concentrations. However, when the YM concentration was 20%, the dynamic mechanical properties of the composite material significantly improved.

Design of New Carbon-Phenolic Ablators: Manufacturing, Plasma Wind Tunnel Tests and Finite Element Model Rebuilding

L. Paglia et al.

Summary: This study manufactured two different types of carbon-phenolic ablators with a density of 0.3 g/cm(3) and experimentally evaluated their mechanical and thermal properties. The thermal protection performances of the ablators were assessed in a hypersonic plasma wind tunnel facility under high heat flux conditions, showing good performance and outlining operating limits.

Advanced sandwich structures for thermal protection systems in hypersonic vehicles: A review

Vinh Tung Le et al.

Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent research efforts on sandwich structures for thermal protection systems (TPS) in hypersonic vehicles, discussing topics such as structural and material design, mechanical performance, and manufacturing methods. The research shows that in the development of hypersonic vehicles, the application of sandwich structures in TPS has become increasingly important.
