Thermal protection is one of the crucial issues for the advanced propulsion systems of Reusable Launch Vehicles. New service requirements for materials, such as high strength, low density, low thermal expansion, high thermal stability, etc., are raised for the thermal structure with the increasing demand of flight Mach numbers and thrust‐to‐weight ratio. Carbon fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites, which generally meet the aforementioned requirements, show great potential for various applications and they have been widely applied in the thermal protection for hypersonic vehicles. This paper gives a comprehensive and systematic review of current research status for carbon fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites applied in the thermal structure of advanced propulsion systems. Three aspects are presented and discussed: the ceramic composites fabrication and the property characterization, the thermal performance of composite thermal structure used in practical engines, and the numerical methods for predicting mechanical and thermal properties of composites as well as the physicochemical phenomenon in the cooling channels. Firstly, the main manufacturing processes for the carbon‐reinforced ceramic composites are presented and the corresponding advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The high‐temperature oxidation and ablation behaviors of composites are demonstrated and the improvement of oxidation and ablation resistance by introducing the ultra‐high‐temperature ceramics into C/C composites is discussed in detail. Then, several typical applications of carbon fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites (mainly C/SiC), including the work of RCI, JAXA and NASA, have been reviewed and analyzed. After that, the current research status of macroscale equivalent and multiscale numerical methods for predicting the mechanical and thermal properties of composites as well as the complex physicochemical phenomenon occurring in hydrocarbon fuels are sorted out. Finally, several potential prospects are pointed out for the future research on the thermal protection of advanced propulsion systems based on the carbon fiber‐reinforced ceramic composites.

PurposeThe paper's goal is to examine and illustrate the useful uses of submodeling in finite element modeling for topology optimization and stress analysis. The goal of the study is to demonstrate how submodeling – more especially, a 1D approach – can reliably and effectively produce ideal solutions for challenging structural issues. The paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of submodeling in obtaining converged solutions for stress analysis and optimized geometry for improved fatigue life by studying a cantilever beam case and using beam formulations. In order to guarantee the precision and dependability of the optimization process, the developed approach will also be validated through experimental testing, such as 3-point bending tests and 3D printing. Using 3D finite element models, the 1D submodeling approach is further validated in the final step, showing a strong correlation with experimental data for deflection calculations.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a literature review to understand the existing research on submodeling and its practical applications in finite element modeling. They selected a cantilever beam case as a test subject to demonstrate stress analysis and topology optimization through submodeling. They developed a 1D submodeling approach to streamline the optimization process and ensure result validity. The authors utilized beam formulations to optimize and validate the outcomes of the submodeling approach. They 3D-printed the optimized models and subjected them to a 3-point bending test to confirm the accuracy of the developed approach. They employed 3D finite element models for submodeling to validate the 1D approach, focusing on specific finite elements for deflection calculations and analyzed the results to demonstrate a strong correlation between the theoretical models and experimental data, showcasing the effectiveness of the submodeling methodology in achieving optimal solutions efficiently and accurately.FindingsThe findings of the paper are as follows: 1. The use of submodeling, specifically a 1D submodeling approach, proved to be effective in achieving optimal solutions more efficiently and accurately in finite element modeling. 2. The study conducted on a cantilever beam case demonstrated successful stress analysis and topology optimization through submodeling, resulting in optimized geometry for enhanced fatigue life. 3. Beam formulations were utilized to optimize and validate the outcomes of the submodeling approach, leading to the successful 3D printing and testing of the optimized models through a 3-point bending test. 4. Experimental results confirmed the accuracy and validity of the developed submodeling approach in streamlining the optimization process. 5. The use of 3D finite element models for submodeling further validated the 1D approach, with specific finite elements showing a strong correlation with experimental data in deflection calculations. Overall, the findings highlight the effectiveness of submodeling techniques in achieving optimal solutions and validating results in finite element modeling, stress analysis and optimization processes.Originality/valueThe originality and value of the paper lie in its innovative approach to utilizing submodeling techniques in finite element modeling for structural analysis and optimization. By focusing on the reduction of finite element models and the creation of smaller, more manageable models through submodeling, the paper offers designers a more efficient and accurate way to achieve optimal solutions for complex problems. The study's use of a cantilever beam case to demonstrate stress analysis and topology optimization showcases the practical applications of submodeling in real-world scenarios. The development of a 1D submodeling approach, along with the utilization of beam formulations and 3D printing for experimental validation, adds a novel dimension to the research. Furthermore, the paper's integration of 1D and 3D submodeling techniques for deflection calculations and validation highlights the thoroughness and rigor of the study. The strong correlation between the finite element models and experimental data underscores the reliability and accuracy of the developed approach. Overall, the originality and value of this paper lie in its comprehensive exploration of submodeling techniques, its practical applications in structural analysis and optimization and its successful validation through experimental testing.
