PREDICTION OF THERMOPHYSICAL AND THERMOMECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF POROUS CARBON–CERAMIC COMPOSITE MATERIALS OF THE HEAT SHIELD OF AEROSPACE CRAFT

A procedure for predicting thermophysical and thermomechanical characteristics of porous carbon–ceramic composite materials of the heat shield of aerospace craft as functions of the type of reinforcement, porosity of the structure, and the characteristics of the material′s components has been developed. Results of mathematical modeling of the temperature and stressed-strained states of representative volume elements for determining the characteristics of a carbon–ceramic composite material with account taken of its anisotropy have been given.
