A heat shield called the thermal protection system (TPS) is an important structure in
hypersonic vehicles as it prevents hot air from entering vehicles and potential impacts from …

Sandwich composites with a polyurethane foam (PUF) core have become a versatile set of
materials with applications ranging from basic construction elements to advanced …

The appropriate hetero interfacial layer structure between metal and ceramic matrix
composites is a very interesting topic in materials science. In this work, an adaptive diffusion …

Cracks induced by internal stresses compromise the structural integrity of ceramic laminates.
Such stresses can be classified into thermal stress derived from thermal expansion …

The Zr–Cu filler metal is mainly used for the joining of SiC ceramic as a nuclear fuel cladding
material. The physical and chemical properties of the alloy, the interfacial reaction between …

Concentrated solar power (CSP) is an important option as a competitive, secure, and
sustainable energy system. At the moment, cost-effective solutions are required for a wider …

This work investigates the effects of cracking on the overall properties of brittle auxetic/non-
auxetic honeycombs. The micro numerical model and macro theoretical model are …

The effects of microstructures of foam core on the thermal shock strength of the sandwich
slabs are investigated by macro-micro analysis. Each slab has two ceramic matrix composite …

The aim of this work was to discuss the suitability of the joining process called “RM‐
Wrap”(RM= Refractory Metals, ie, Mo, Nb, Ta, Zr) as a pressure‐less and tailorable …

Abstract The RM-wrap (RM= Refractory Metal) is a pressure-less, versatile and tailorable
joining process: it consists of wrap** Si foils inside a refractory metal wrap (ie, Mo, Nb, Ta) …
