Abstract:undamaged surfaces (5,6) . Thus, the flow conditions in the damaged region must also be taken into account.Based on the background provided, the specific objectives of this study are: (a) to describe the experimental facility, and the experiments conducted to validate the FE thermomechanical models, and (b) to determine the heat flux on the damaged tile by considering the hypersonic flow past a cavity, and incorporate the refined thermal loading into the FE thermomechanical analysis in order to determine the e… Show more
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.
