Abstract:The effects of cyclic frequency on the fatigue behavior of silicon carbide (Nicalon) fiber‐reinforced glass–ceramic matrix (SiC/magnesium aluminosilicate (MAS)) were investigated. Tension–tension fatigue tests were conducted at two frequencies, 10 and 900 Hz, to establish stress versus cycles to failure (S–N) relationships. Cycles to failure at a given stress level decreased with an increase of the applied frequency. Analysis of damage mechanisms suggests that there was an enhancement of fiber/matrix interfaci… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
