Abstract: This paper briefly summarizes the structure, thermal-mechanical load, and the failure modes of ceramic missile radome, and then from the aspects of non-destructive test, material and structural level tests, reviews various test methods used in assessing thermal-mechanical performance of material and structure. Among them, non-destructive testing mainly includes methods based on optics, acoustics, thermotics, and radiography; material-level tests include material thermal and mechanical properties tests; structure-level tests include pressurizing screening, jet flow heating, and thermal-mechanical test. The above methods together form a thermal-mechanical performance test system for ceramic radome.

Key words: ceramic radome; thermal-mechanical performance test; non-destructive testing
