In-plane shear failure behavior and mechanical properties of SiC/SiC Composites

Fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites, especially SiC/SiC composites, have the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, high-temperature resistance, etc., which are ideal structural candidates for aerospace vehicle components, in-plane shear performance is one of the important indicators to characterize the mechanical properties of materials and component assessment, this paper designs and processes the in-plane shear test pieces and test devices and methods to study the shear mechanical behavior under the mechanical properties and failure behavior of SiC/SiC ceramic-based fiber bundle composites are studied under shear mechanical behavior. The results show that matrix cracking and fiber fracture are the main failure modes, and there are two obvious phases in the specimen shear force-displacement curves, and fiber fracture is the main cause of strain in the specimen.
