Transient Thermal Testing and Analysis of a Thermally Insulating Structural Sandwich Panel

By National Aeronautics and Space Administration

A core configuration was devised for a thermally insulating structural sandwich panel. Two titanium prototype panels were constructed to illustrate the proposed sandwich panel geometry. The core of one of the titanium panels was filled with Saffil(trademark) alumina fibrous insulation and the panel was tested in a series of transient thermal tests. Finite element analysis was used to predict the thermal response of the panel using one- and two-dimensional models. Excellent agreement was obtained between predicted and measured temperature histories. Blosser, Max L. and Daryabeigi, Kamran and Bird, Richard K. and Knutson, Jeffrey R.
