| dc.description.abstract | The aerospace industry among others requires high strength, light weight materials that can withstand high temperatures. Carbon-carbon composite materials fit these requirements, but they are susceptible to oxidation damage when they are subjected to high temperatures in the presence of oxygen. Monitoring this oxidation during material characterization as well as in service is a difficult problem. This study presents data which shows that an electrical resistance measurement could be used to monitor such oxidation. The resistance measurements were correlated with mass loss results from a thermogravimetric mass analyzer, and the oxidation behavior was characterized using differential thermogravimetric analysis. | en |
