About this topic

This Special Issue addresses recent advances in material modeling, failure characterization, material
performance, damage mechanics, testing and damage evaluation of coated ceramic matrix composites
(CMC) for high-temperature applications in the range greater than 2700 °F. The goal of this Special Issue is
to investigate the latest and most up-to-date development concerning the durability of this material and its
applicability to combustion and turbine section components of aero-propulsion and land-based gas turbine
engines, thermal protection systems, thruster nozzles, reusable rocket nozzles, and turbopump components
for space vehicles. CMC such as SiC-SiC (silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide) are being
considered by engines makers for use in hot section components and by airframe manufacturers of launch
vehicles. These advanced materials tend to provide the optimum and desired weight level thought and the
higher temperature tolerability as well as the structural capability as compared to components made from
conventional metals. Additionally, because of their high strength and durability at high temperatures, CMC’s
help increase vehicle performance and safety considerably and lower the cost of transporting payloads to
orbit.
Operational issues that impact the performance, strength, and service life of the CMC, such as
environmental effects, creep, cracking and other challenges, are welcomed for submission. Protective
coatings mainly for ceramic matrix composite (CMC) substrates, such as environmental barrier coatings
(EBCs) are evolving to compete with Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) to offer an environmental shield for
the hot section components of the turbine engine.
Applications of coatings are equally invited, along with along with physics-based validation models
evaluating the durability and degradation mechanisms of these protective barriers. Submissions on
Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques and analytical simulations that capture all stages of damage
and fracture growth from initiation to progression to final failure are also welcomed. NDE tools that allow
detecting defects in the coated CMC components and integrate these anomalies into a structural model to
evaluate the structural response and service life are highly desirable.
Articles and reviews dealing with CMCs for different market applications, including downstream sponsors,
such as manufacturers, vendors, and end users, are sought. This Special Issue also welcomes studies on
various types of ceramic matrix composites that are used by end users, such as in aerospace and defense,
automotive, energy and power, and electrical and electronics.
