Research abstract
Materials Research & Design, Inc. (MR&D) is proposing a combined experimental and analytical effort to develop a method for introducing a specified surface porosity that is capable of stabilizing the disturbances for the second (Mack) mode instability through ultrasonic absorption. The proposed effort includes analytically determining the desired pore size and distribution on the surface of the C/C material, fabricating small samples of C/C with various methods for introducing the surface porosity, characterizing the as-fabricated porosity that was able to be achieved, and analytically evaluating the effect of the surface porosity on the material performance and the resulting changes in vehicle thermal and structural response.
