“…The studies of combustion of individual structural elements of launch vehicle parts, containers for petroleum products made of combustible materials revealed a number of problems associated with the materials used to make these elements [1,4,5]. In particular, experimental studies of the carbon fiber cladding element used on the PF found that under uniform thermal loading, when the temperature of ⁓ 4000C is reached, burnout of the epoxy binder in the sample is observed, and when ~ 12000C is reached, the carbon fibers of the sample are completely charred and the burnt sample almost completely loses its mass [5].…”
