Abstract

The interfacial properties have been measured for a novel AA6061/SiC-C coated silicon carbide SM3256 monofilamentary fibre (Al/SiCf) MMC using a variant of the single fibre fragmentation test. In this test, fibre fragmentation is followed in situ using synchrotron X-ray diffraction to probe the axial fibre elastic strains as a function of applied loading, while X-ray radiography is used to follow the fracture sequence. In this way, the variation in axial fibre stress along the fibre is tracked and hence the variation in interfacial shear stress along the fibre inferred at various stages of fibre fragmentation. Prior to loading, the fibre was in a state of axial compression (280 MPa) due to thermal residual stresses representative of cooling from 200 °C. During the fragmentation process, the variations in axial strain and interfacial stress show characteristic “stick–slip” behaviour, where the fibre interface must exceed a threshold stress (τdeb = 94 ± 10 MPa), close to the shear strength of the matrix before debonding. Once debonded, the fibre slides at a frictional shear stress, τfr, initially of around 40 MPa, but falling with increased sliding distance to around τfr = 15 ± 5 MPa. Radiography taken during loading, and post-mortem, indicates that interfacial failure occurs at the fibre-coating interface, leaving coating material lining the pull-out within the matrix. The accumulation of coating damage may be responsible for the progressive decrease in sliding stress with increased sliding. These sliding stresses, are much lower than observed for comparable Ti/SiC composites, and would facilitate significant fibre-pull-out and fibre bridging under fatigue conditions.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field. Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
