Title

High Performance Polymeric And Ceramic Nanocomposites For Aircraft Engine Fan Case

Abstract

The fan case in an aircraft engine is a heavy structure because of its size and because of the requirement that it contains a blade release during engine operation. Nanocomposites offer potential for reducing the weight of the case and improving the impact properties. In this study, carbon fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites with carbon nanofiber-modified polymer resin was developed to enhance the delamination resistance of the composite laminates during the blade-out impact. One layer of ceramic nanocomposites based on carbon nanofiber paper technology we recently developed was integrated onto the surface of composite laminates to eliminate the fiber shear fracture. The morphologies of polymer nanocomposites and ceramic nanocomposites were examined with SEM, showing that the nanofibers were uniformly dispersed in the nanocomposites. The vibrational damping test was conducted on the polymeric nanocomposite laminates. It was found that the damping ratios increased with the content of nanofibers in the nanocomposites.
