Abstract:This article presents an investigation on the mechanical properties of porous interlayers between fiber bundles and matrix in threedimensional (3D) carbon/carbon composite. Micro computer tomography systems are employed to observe the microstructures in situ and nondestructively in the porous interlayers. Statistical analyses are utilized to obtain microstructure parameters. Mechanical models are developed to describe the mechanical behavior of these porous interlayers. Using microstructure parameters in the c… 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.
