Effect of the Fiber Orientation Relatively to the Plasma Flow Direction in the Ablation Process of a Carbon-Phenolic Composite

Effect of the Fiber Orientation Relatively to the Plasma Flow Direction in the Ablation Process of a Carbon-Phenolic Composite

Composite materials are vastly employed in rocket nozzle extensions and as thermal protection shields in aerospace industry. In both cases, ablative and thermal properties play an important role for material choice and equipment sizing. These properties are strongly dependent on the way the pieces a...
