Thermal Shock Tolerant Tantalum Carbide Forming MAX Phase Materials
Amount: $1,475,361.00MAX phase materials are metallic ceramics known for combining favorable mechanical properties (such as good machinability and high elastic moduli) with good thermal shock resistance, low thermal expan ...
SBIRPhase II2022Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency -
User Element (UEL) Based Process Model for Prediction of C/C Dimensional Changes During Manufacturing
Amount: $748,737.00The process of manufacturing phenolic-derived structural carbon-carbon composites is one fraught with variability. Many of the standard practices employed by fabricators have, in some way, been derive ...
SBIRPhase II2022Department of Defense Air Force -
Unit-Cell Approach for C/C Process and Mechanical Modeling
Amount: $749,355.00The properties of carbon-carbon composites often exhibit significant variability due to variations in processing conditions and spatial variations inherent in the material structure of fabric-reinforc ...
SBIRPhase II2021Department of Defense Air Force -
High Strain-Rate Characterization Methods for Carbon-Carbon Composites at Elevated Temperature
Amount: $1,498,909.00Thermal Protection Systems (TPS) exhibit a damage mechanism known as “shear-plugging” when impacted by a hypervelocity projectile. Test methods to extract strain-rate dependent strength data relev ...
STTRPhase II2021Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency -
Tantalum Carbide Forming MAX Phase Material for Solid Rocket Motor Throats
Amount: $149,952.00Recent developments with the maturation and characterization of MAX phase materials indicate that a handful of these materials would be suitable for the heat produced by third stage rocket motors (TSR ...

Determination of Carbon-Carbon Hydrocode Parameters by Uncertainty Quantification
Amount: $1,461,490.00Material models utilized by hydrocode programs (EPIC, Velodyne) require dynamic material properties and strengths as input. Due to the scarcity of useable material databases, many times these properti ...
SBIRPhase II2021Department of Defense Missile Defense Agency -
Domestically Available C/C for Hot Structure
Amount: $749,970.00The overall objective of the Phase II program is to develop a domestically-available needled (2.5D) C-C composite and demonstrate its use as a nozzle extension for future lunar lander and upper-stage ...
SBIRPhase II2020National Aeronautics and Space Administration -
Determination of Carbon-Carbon Hydrocode Parameters by Uncertainty Quantification
Amount: $149,792.00Materials Research & Design, Inc. (MR&D) and Southwest Research Institute will create an analysis framework allowing for the determination of uncertain carbon-carbon (C-C) material parameters for use ...
