Appl. No.:

12/110595

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B05D 1/36

US Classification:

427258, 428632

Abstract:

An integrated composite structure with a graded coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is formed by selecting a plurality of layers of materials with a graded CTE and using build-up (bottom-up) fabrication approaches such as metal deposition or powder metallurgy to produce a CTE-graded layered composite preform, which is then consolidated and heat treated to create the CTE graded integrated composite billet or near net shape. The integrated composite billet or near net shape is then processed to produce a first surface for attachment of a first structural member having a first CTE and to produce a second surface of for attachment of a second structural member having a second CTE.

US Classification:

2281121, 228101, 228107, 244131, 244133

Abstract:

An integrated composite structure with a graded coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is formed by selecting a plurality of layers of materials with a graded CTE and using joining approaches such as welding, brazing, or solid state bonding to produce a CTE-graded layered composite or near net shape. The integrated composite billet or near net shape is then processed to produce a first surface for attachment of a first structural member having a first CTE and to produce a second surface of for attachment of a second structural member having a second CTE.

Abstract:

A vessel includes a vessel wall and an insulation assembly coupled to the vessel wall. The insulation assembly includes a stochastic foam material and a microtruss structure encased within the foam material. The microtruss structure includes a plurality of truss members interconnected at a plurality of nodes. Each truss member is in contact with the foam material such that the microtruss structure provides a structural core for the foam material.

Inventors:

- Chicago IL, US
William P. Keith - Lakewood CA, US
Michael L. Hand - Huntington Beach CA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G01N 3/08

Abstract:

A test method and corresponding fixture design are provided which enable loading a circular test coupon (made, e.g., of ceramic matrix composite material) to failure under biaxial loading conditions while recording strain and temperature. Biaxial loading requires approximately equal loads to be applied in two directions concurrently. The disclosed method uses liquid coolant (e.g., liquid nitrogen) to cool a ring made of metal alloy (e.g., aluminum alloy) that is disposed radially outward from and surrounds the outer edge of the test coupon. The cooled metal alloy ring contracts and compresses the test coupon until failure occurs.
