Abstract
Due to the limitation of manufacturing techniques, voids, low density areas and wrinkle defects inevitably occur during the fabricating process of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). This study aims to reveal the effect of various defects (voids, low density areas and wrinkle defects) on the tensile strength of plain weave C/SiC composites. The micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) test was used to assess the quantity and distribution of defects within the material. Based on the μ-CT images, finite element models (IB-FEM) of the C/SiC composites with different defect types and contents were reconstructed. The tensile strength of plain weave C/SiC composites containing defects at different temperatures was obtained through experiments and simulations, demonstrating excellent consistency. The effect of different types and contents of defects on the tensile strength of C/SiC composites is investigated and discussed, which is of great significance to enhance understanding of the influence of defects on the mechanical behavior of CMCs.
期刊介绍:
Applied Composite Materials is an international journal dedicated to the publication of original full-length papers, review articles and short communications of the highest quality that advance the development and application of engineering composite materials. Its articles identify problems that limit the performance and reliability of the composite material and composite part; and propose solutions that lead to innovation in design and the successful exploitation and commercialization of composite materials across the widest spectrum of engineering uses. The main focus is on the quantitative descriptions of material systems and processing routes.
Coverage includes management of time-dependent changes in microscopic and macroscopic structure and its exploitation from the material''s conception through to its eventual obsolescence.
