“…The extreme stiffness, strength, and toughness, as well as nonbrittle failure of advanced CMCs make them an ideal choice over traditional materials for many aerospace applications, such as for components used in the hot section of turbine engines, rocket nozzles, and thermal protection systems (Inghels and Lamon, 1991;Camus, Guillaumat, and Baste, 1996;El Bouazzaoui, Baste, and Camus, 1996;Jacobsen and Brøndsted, 2001;Murthy, Gyekenyesi, and Mital, 2004;Aboudi, 2011;Goldberg, 2012;Goldsmith et al, 2014). Additionally, CMCs offer oxidation and creep resistance and thermal shock stability at elevated temperatures.…”
