12 CMCs show promise in addressing all of these imperatives because they are inherently refractory, have low density, and have demonstrated damage tolerance in some applications, suggesting that they could be used in lightweight, thermally loaded structures. CMCs also have weaknesses, however, such as oxidation embrittlement in non-oxide ceramics and limited creep strength in oxide ceramics.

Consequently, it is impossible to operate the combustor lean enough to remain below the NOx formation threshold. This problem could be solved using a CMC combustion liner that can withstand the temperature of the hot gas in the reaction zone without film air cooling.

The greater challenges of using CMCs in inertially loaded components should be deferred until field experience has been gained for thermally loaded components. Because most CMC applications are dominated by thermal loads, the material temperature depends not only on the component environment (e.g., gas temperature in a turbine engine)

Aerospace Systems Aerospace applications can be divided into aircraft, missile, and space systems. Several aircraft programs are focused on tailoring CMCs to improve performance, reduce weight, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce undesirable emissions from gas turbine engines.

Defining fiber performance requirements for a temperature-time domain is contingent upon CMC component designthrough the expected stress levels as elaborated below. General Considerations The performance of thermally loaded components (in the absence of inertial loading)

From page 19... ...
Fiber and Interface Requirements Given the limited amount of field experience and the limited analysis of that experience, it is premature to be explicit about property requirements. Thermal loadings tend to be benign because inelastic strains redistribute the stresses caused by thermal expansion.
