Non-metallic and Structurally Efficient Thermal Energy Storage Composites for Avionics Temperature Control, Part Ii: Mechanical Characterization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanical characterization of a two-dimensional Thermal Energy Storage (TES) composite structure that combines the heat storage capability with structural functionality was carried out experimentally. Static and fatigue experiments were conducted for the composite structure under three-point bending at both room temperature and elevated temperature. An energy method model was developed to predict the mechanical behavior of the composite.

Non-metallic and Structurally Efficient Thermal Energy Storage Composites for Avionics Temperature Control, Part I: Thermal Characterization
A novel multi-functional plate-like lamination that combines a thermal energy storage capability with a structural capability is described. The lamination consists of a paraffin impregnated porous graphitic core (the energy storage volume) encapsulated between rigid graphite/epoxy composite plates and ribs to form a twodimensional box structure. Heat storage is via solidliquid phase transition ...

متن کاملPreparation and characterization of Epoxy/Lead oxide nano-composite for shield against gamma and X-rays
Polymer nano-composites are a group of materials that represent proper mechanical, chemical, thermal and optical properties due to the presence of certain percentages of a filler in a polymeric matrix. In this study lead oxide nanoparticles were prepared by direct precipitation method. Then the lead oxide-epoxy resin nanocomposite was prepared by mixing (without solvent) with different weight p...
متن کاملMechanical Characterization of Glass-Basalt-Carbon/Polyester Hybrid Composites
Influence of the stacking sequences of hybrid composites on the tensile strength, flexural strength, inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) and impact energy was investigated. The hybrid glass-basalt-carbon/polyester composite laminates were processed by hand lay-up procedure at room temperature. The fracture surface of the composite laminates after the tension and flexural test was examined by sc...
