Abstract: A robust, chemically, structurally, and thermodynamically compatible ablative gap filler that can be processed with ease is provided. The gap filler uses a carbon phenolic mixture that has nearly the same material property characteristics as the adjacent PICA or carbon phenolic tiles. The gap filler is applied into the gaps using an innovative processing approach that involves preparation of a ‘dry mixture’ of the ingredients, which is then packed manually or robotically (if needed) into the gaps. During the packing process, the dry mixture may be vented, and pressed periodically to ensure that there are no trapped voids. After each gap is adequately filled with the mixture, the assembly is bagged and cured in the oven at about 250 or 300° F. for about 1.5 to 2 hours. The gap filler thereby forms a bond with the adjacent PICA or carbon phenolic tiles, without degrading or modifying the properties at any of the interfaces (e.g., with the tiles, adhesives, substrate, etc.).

Abstract: A thermal protection system capable of withstanding impact loads without a detrimental effect to its main function, i.e. a protection of the vehicle from high temperature during re-entry or flight in the atmosphere. The system consists of the outer ceramic matrix composite shield, a ceramic tile sandwiched between the shield and the skin of the vehicle and fasteners joining the system and the protected structure. The ceramic matrix composite fasteners are capable of working in the same high-temperature environment as the rest of thermal protection system. They are also strong and stiff due to the presence of ceramic fibers. Cracks in the outer shield produced by impact cannot propagate into the ceramic tile since the shield and tile materials are discontinuous along the interface. The tile cannot disintegrate from the vehicle since it is pressed to its skin by the outer shield. The system can easily be disassembled for inspection and/or repair.

Abstract: A stack of substantially parallel ceramic plates (22) separated and interconnected by ceramic spacers (26, 27) forming a seal structure (20) with a length (L), a width (W), and a thickness (T).

An adjacent plate bends into the space when the seal structure is compressed in thickness. The spacers may have gaps (60, 62) forming a stepped or labyrinthine cooling flow path (66) within the seal structure. The spacers of each row may vary in lateral separation, thus providing a range of compressibility that varies along the width of the seal structure.
