Uncertainty quantification of aerothermal flow-material simulations of low-density ablative thermal protection systems
Essential to space missions involving an atmospheric entry, the thermal protection system (TPS) shields the spacecraft and its payload from the severe aerothermal loads. Low-density carbon/phenolic composite materials have gained renewed interest to serve as ablative thermal protection materials (TPMs). These materials can accommodate the high heat...

Experimental Investigation on the Specific Heat of Carbonized Phenolic Resin-Based Ablative Materials
Published in International Journal of Thermophysics
As typical phenolic resin-based ablative materials, the high silica/phenolic and carbon/phenolic composites are widely used in aerospace field. The specific heat of the carbonized ablators after ablation is an important thermophysical parameter in the process of heat transfer, but it is rarely reported. In this investigation, the carbonized samples...
The Sliding Friction of Hybrid Composite Journal Bearing Under Various Test Conditions
Published in Tribology Letters
Composite journal bearings are becoming more popular for marine applications because they eliminate the possibility of seizure to steel journals, which is a drawback of white-metal bearings. However, the reliability of composite bearings should be verified by various tests before its commercialization. In this study, hybrid composite journal bearin...
