This course will provide a detailed overview of characterization techniques of high-temperature materials -also known as Thermal Protection System (TPS) materials - and will cover the manufacturing, the traditional and advanced thermal and thermo-mechanical testing. TPS materials are used in the production of the heat shields of probes and space vehicles and are also used in the production of chemical propulsion systems such as liquid fueled rocket engines or solid (or hybrid) rocket motors. At the end of the course, the student will be able to correctly identify the use of each class of high-temperature materials, helping her/him to get quickly integrated in the sector of the aerospace industry. |
