A three-way coupled thermo-mechanical fracture model is presented to predict the damage of brittle ceramics, in particular 𝛼-SiC, over a wide range of temperatures (20-1400 • C). Predicting damage over such a range of temperatures is crucial for thermal protection systems for many systems such as spacecraft. The model, which has been implemented in MOOSE, is divided into three modules: elasticity, damage phase field, and heat conduction. Analytical approaches for determining crack lengthscales are presented for both simple tension and simple shear. Validation tests are conducted for both flexural strength and fracture toughness over the specified range of temperatures. Flexural strength simulation results fall within the uncertainty region of the experimental data, and mode I fracture toughness simulation results are also in agreement with the experimental data. Mode II and mixed mode fracture toughness simulations results are presented with the modified G-criterion. Finally, the parallel computing capabilities of the model are considered in various scalability tests.

This article reports a novel lightweight integrated multifunctional composite (LIMC) with good thermal ablative and insulating properties for high temperature extreme environment. LIMC, which is an integrated woven carbon fiber preform reinforced phenolic aerogel composites, was prepared using vacuum impregnation and ambient pressure drying. The as-prepared LIMC consisted of a dense surface layer exposed to environment, and a lightweight insulation zone to manage the heat load. The influences of weaving parameter and resin structure of LIMC on thermal protection and insulting performance were investigated. The results demonstrated that LIMC exhibited excellent ablation and insulation properties, and the weaving parameter and resin structure can affect integrated thermal protection and insulating performance. The 3D orthogonal recession layer with dense aerogels can improve the ablation resistance, while the 2.5D layer-layer angle-interlock with light aerogels can increase the insulation behavior of LIMC. The novel LIMC presents wide application prospects in the field of thermal protection and heat insulation.

“…Owing to the high energy density, many conventional materials can be destroyed in a short time [ 5 , 6 ]. Thermal protection systems effectively prevent thermal attacks, and are widely used in aerospace applications [ 7 , 8 ]. However, such materials always have high thicknesses and weak bonds with substrates [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Localized heat sources, such as flame guns and high-energy lasers, can cause severe damage to conventional materials. In this study, a novel localized heat-resistant coating with a high in-plane thermal conductivity was designed and prepared. Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) effectively improved the in-plane thermal conductivity of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film, while maintaining the thermal insulation of the resin matrix in the through-plane direction. This characteristic of the rGO/PVA film was combined with the thermal insulation of boron-modified phenolic resin (BPF), and the prepared composite coating with two layers of rGO/PVA films effectively lowered the back-surface temperature in the flame ablation test from 151 to 107 °C. In addition, the area of the ablation-affected region of coating was increased to 103.6 cm2 from 31.9 cm2, indicating an excellent heat transfer performance. The layer-by-layer structure could realize the compatibility of high in-plane thermal conductivity and good through-plane thermal insulation. The synergy of these two different characteristics is demonstrated to be the key to improving the localized heat-resistant performance of the composite coating. This study effectively expands the application range of high-conductive film, and the obtained coating could act as a shield against butane flame, high energy lasers, and other localized heat.
