Research abstract
MR&D is proposing to perform a combined analytical, fabrication, and experimental program to achieve the program objectives of developing innovative approaches to improving FOD resistance of CMC materials, specifically GE’s HyPerCompTM SiC/SiC CMC material. MR&D will develop finite element math models of the CMC material specimens and the high velocity metal projectiles to simulate impact testing. The models will first be verified by reproducing experimental data measured on impacted CMC specimens. Candidate methods for potential improvements to the FOD resistance to the HyPerCompTM CMC material will be analytically investigated, through mathematical simulations of impact tests. Manufacturable methods which have analytically demonstrated promise in mitigating impact damage will then be fabricated by CCP and experimentally evaluated through impact testing.
