Thermal reaction based mesoscale ablation model for phase degradation and pyrolysis of needle-punched composite

Yu Chen, Ran Tao, Yiqi Mao

Abstract

Needle-punched composites are highly valued for their exceptional resistance to interlaminar properties, ablation, and design flexibility, making them increasingly popular in aerospace thermal protection systems. This work investigates the mesoscale structural characteristics and thermophysical properties of needle-punched composites in ablation process . Oxyacetylene ablation experiments were carried out at different temperatures, and a mesoscopic needle-punched structure model was established based on the results of CT characterization. Further, Abaqus custom subroutine was used to reveal the ablation evolution mechanism of carbon fiber reinforced phenolic resin-based needle-punched composites. The results show that, at mesoscopic scale , the acicular fiber bundle perpendicular to the ablative surface accelerates the heat conduction to the interior of the material and promotes the thermal damage and performance degradation of the composite.
