Damage characterization of two-dimensional woven and three-dimensional braided SiC-SiC composites

Tensile creep and rupture of 2D-woven SiC/SiC composites for high temperature applications

“…13) associated with the large pores. 12,35,36 It is apparent that as composite stress was increased the number of cracks and the depth of the cracks increased. For the iBN CVI-G composite, more cracking occurred as well as what appears to be the linkage of cracks to form networks of through-thickness matrix cracks at 138 and 155 MPa.…”

Preparation of 3D orthogonal woven C–SiC composite and its characterization for thermo-mechanical properties

“…Three-dimensional fiber-reinforced ceramic composites are potential structural materials for sudden heating and cooling environment [10][11][12][13][14]. 3D-stitched C-SiC composites show still better behavior along the length and width of the fabric (X, Y directions) but mechanical properties in the through thickness direction are not as good due to very low V f in the Z-direction [3,4].…”

Influence of the fiber volume fraction and the fiber Weibull modul on the behavior of 2D woven SiC/SiC ? a finite element simulation

“…As can be seen in the experimental studies [13], [14], [15], [16] multiple cracking can appear within the inter yarn matrix and the fiber bundles. The reason for the multiple cracking observed are load transfer effects within the composite.…”
