Thermal shock resistivity of hybrid carbon foam materials: Experiments and model predictions

Carbon/ZrO2 aerogel composite microtube superfoam

“…The density of the CZF-based aerogel composite microtube superfoams is as low as 28.4 ± 1.7 kg m −3 (CZF-5.0-1200), which is even an order of magnitude lower than the reported density of foam materials. 43,44 When the carbonization temperature is 600 °C, the density of the CZF-5.0-600 aerogel composite microtube superfoams increases signicantly to 52.4 ± 6.9 kg m −3 . This further indicates that the CZF-Y foam cannot be completely carbonized at 600 °C.…”

Thermo‐mechanically coupled modelling of cellular MgO‐C refractories under thermal shock

“…The results are compared with a mesoscopic model in Abaqus R with identical boundary conditions [2,4,10]. Figure 1 (left) presents the results of the stress and the temperature distribution in the middle of the cube over the time.…”

“…A macroscopic approach based on results of a mesoscopic thermo-mechanically coupled model was developed in previous works. This mesoscopic structure was used to reduce thermally induced stresses and the associated damage [2][3][4][5]. The present contribution deals with the implementation of the macroscopic model and the simulation of the entire component.…”

Yield surfaces for solid foams: A review on experimental characterization and modeling

“…They are not only used for thermal insulation but also as filters for molten metal, for acoustic insulation, absorption of environmental pollutants as well as support for catalysts and as implant material . In case of interpenetrating phase composites filled with other ceramic materials such as periclase, they find application for linings in steel‐making industry . Metal foams can be used in a wide range of engineering applications in the automotive, aerospace, transportation, and ship building industry as well as in civil engineering, medicine, and chemical reaction technology .…”
