Application and Development of Structure Materials for Space Shuttle

本文简要地评述了航空航天飞机结构材料当前的进展与水平,包括空间环境及选材要求,多次反复使用的防热材料,非金属材料及其复合材料,金属基复合材料,金属材料,材料的力学和物理性能与测试,并指出航天飞机结构材料今后的发展趋势。

In this paper, the recent progress for structure materials of space shuttle has been reviewed briefly. It includes the requirements for space environment and structure materials, thermal insulating material, non-metallic material and its composite material, metal-matrix compsite, metal material, mechanical and physical properties of the materials and their testing techniques. The trend of structure material development for space shuttle has been pointed out also.
