The coupling effect of physics, chemistry and mechanics is through charring layer in the process of ablation of the insulation material. Description of the structure and mechanical properties of charring layer is the critical factor to numerical computation for foretelling the ablation of insulation material. The characteristic of charring layer structure of EPDM insulation at sorts of ablating condition were analyzed, and based on characteristic of porous medium of charring layer, the mechanical model with porosity as parameter was modeled by using theory of solid porous medium. According to the intensity determination of charring layer, the coefficient of intensity model was determined, then, the failure criterion of charring layer was set up, which can provide the mechanical parameters of charring layer for numerical computation to foretell the ablation of insulation material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
