Abstract

Fracture characteristics of plates and dome shapes for machinable glass ceramics using compressed shock wave. Machinable glass ceramics have been considered as a promising candidate material for the dome port cover of air breathing engine. This part of the air breathing engine has an important role separating solid and liquid fuel, and needs the frangible characteristics whereby the fracture of a part should not affect the internal components of combustion. The objective of this study are to evaluate the fracture pressure and phenomena of separated membrane using a shock tunnel. The experimental apparatus consists of driver, a driven section and a dump tank. The used material is machinable glass ceramic from Corning company. Specimens are used 3, 4.5 and 6mm thickness with plates and dome shapes. It is expected that the results obtained from this study can be used in the basic data for the dome port cover design of an air breathing engine.
