A ceramic base technology project to support the ongoing proof-of-concept ceramic engine and component development programs was initiated by DOE's Office of Vehicle and Engine Research and Development (now Transportation Systems) in fiscal year 1983. The purpose of the project is the development of an industrial ceramic technology base required for ceramic engine components. Much of the project is conducted in private industry (60 %), with a lesser amount at national laboratories (30 %) and universities (10 %). A five-year project plan has been made with significant contributions from industrial ceramic and engine companies. The project includes a balanced emphasis on the three technology areas thought necessary to achieve reliability in structural ceramics: materials and processing, design methodology, and data base and life prediction. A list and brief description of ongoing or newly started development tasks in fiscal year 1984 are presented.
