ABSTRACTInterfacial properties of 1-D SiC/RBSN composites were measured by the matrix crack spacing method and by the fiber push-out method, and the results were compared. The composites consisted of 8 to 33 vol% of aligned SCS-6 SiC fibers (142 μm diameter) in a relatively porous (20 to 40 vol%) Si3N4 matrix. The effects of fiber volume fraction and test temperature on the interfacial properties have been investigated. The advantages and limitations of both methods in evaluating the interface properties of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites and the factors influencing the interfacial measurements are discussed.

The present paper is concerned with the analysis of a ceramic matrix composite, more specifically the plain weave textile fabric composite made of basalt fibers embedded into the pyrolyzed polysiloxane matrix. Attention is paid to the determination of effective elastic properties of the yarn via homogenization based on the Mori-Tanaka averaging scheme and the 1st order numerical homogenization method adopting a suitable representative computational model. The latter approach is then employed to simulate the response of the yarn when loaded beyond the elastic limits. The required mechanical properties of individual material phases are directly measured using nanoindentation with in-build scanning probe microscopy. Applicability of the proposed computational methodology is supported by the analysis of a unidirectional fibrous composite, representing the yarn, subjected to a macroscopically uniform strain.

Several models have been developed to describe the interfacial behavior of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. However, these models are limited in that they do not take into account the effect of fiber surface roughness on the fiber sliding resistance. Clearly, the fiber surface roughness will play an important role in extensive fiber/matrix debonding and fiber pull-out behavior which are characteristic of a toughened composite. In this study, a Topometrix TMX2010 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) was used to quantitatively evaluate the surface topography of a SiC fiber subjected to a series of surface modification treatments. The relationship between interfacial properties determined from fiber push-out tests and the surface roughness will be used to modify existing mathematical models.In order to systematically study the effect of surface roughness on the interfacial properties of ceramic matrix composites, a “model” single fiber composite having varying degrees of fiber surface roughness was developed. This was accomplished by using a single manufacturer's ceramic fiber which was subjected to a series of treatments in order to alter the surface.
