Thermal State of Composites at Failure

Identification of the decomposition law of the binder in composites provides the basis for a mathematical model and analysis of the thermal state of most composites in significantly nonsteady high-temperature loading. The decomposition law of the binder permits analysis of the thermal state of composites without considering the chemical kinetics. Verification of the numerical results confirms the validity of this approach to modeling the thermal state of composites for use in hypersonic aircraft.
