发明名称 Thermal seal with thermally induced shape change
摘要 A thermal seal may include a flexible insulation layer, and an element made of shape memory alloy attached to the insulation layer, the element being treated to bend in response to heating, whereby an increase in the temperature of the element causes the insulation layer to transform from a first configuration to a second configuration.

主权项 1. A thermal seal comprising: a flexible insulation layer; and an element made of shape memory alloy attached to the insulation layer, the element being treated to bend in response to heating, whereby an increase in the temperature of the element causes the insulation layer to transform from a first configuration to a second configuration; wherein the insulation layer is configured to be attached to a rigid, insulative component of a thermal protection system.
