CMH-17 CMC Coordination
Overall Vision for CMC: CMH-17 is the primary and authoritative source for characterization and statistically-based property and performance data of current and emerging advanced ceramic matrix composites. It reflects the best available data and methodologies for characterization, testing, analysis and design, and includes data development and usage guidelines in support of design methodologies for components.
Goals:
- A framework for the successful use of CMCs.
- Guidance to industry for the collection of statistically meaningful critical data that designers need to utilize CMCs.
- Appropriate prioritization of property requirements and broadly accepted testing procedures - including a consideration of the designation of the precision level, based on the requirements from the design community.
- Guidelines and recommendations for the characterization, processing, testing, design, and utilization of ceramic matrix composite materials and structures.
- The primary and authoritative source for characterization, property, and performance data of current and emerging ceramic matrix composite systems.
Objectives:
- Development of a framework for the future, successful use of CMCs.
- Provide guidance to industry for the collection of statistically meaningful critical data that designers need to utilize CMCs.
- Based on the requirements from the design community, identify appropriate properties and broadly accepted testing procedures - including a consideration of the designation of the precision level and prioritization of properties required.
- Provide guidelines and recommendations for the characterization, testing, design and utilization of ceramic matrix composite materials and structures.
- Provide the primary and authoritative source for characterization, property, and performance data of current and emerging ceramic matrix composite systems.
- Provide recommendations for the statistical analysis of materials data and structures reliability.
