In this paper, comparisons of thermomechanical fatigue hysteresis loops of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) subjected to different phase angles of θ = 0, π/3, π/2, and π have been investigated. The shape, location, and area of fatigue hysteresis loops are affected by the phase angle under the thermomechanical cyclic loading. The effects of fiber volume fraction, fatigue peak stress, matrix crack spacing, interface frictional coefficient, and interface debonded energy on the thermomechanical fatigue hysteresis loops and fiber/matrix interface slip of different phase angles are discussed. The fatigue hysteresis loops of cross-ply CMCs under the phase angles of θ = 0 and π are predicted for different fatigue peak stresses and cycle numbers.
