Ceramic matrix composites have good thermomechanical properties at high or very high temperatures. The modeling of the crack networks associated to the degradation of such composites using damage mechanics is not straightforward. The main reason is the presence of a crack network mainly oriented by the loading direction, which is a priori unknown. To model this, compliance tensorial damage variables are used in a thermodynamic potential able to account for crack closure effects (unilateral contact). The damage kinematic is initially completely free and imposed by the evolution laws. The key point of the present paper is to account for friction in such cracks that can result in an apparent activation/deactivation of the shear damage. The initial model is enriched with an inelastic strain and a friction law. The plasticity criterion is expressed only using tensorial variables. The model is identified and illustrated on multiaxial data obtained at ONERA on tubes loaded in tension and torsion.

Fiber pull-out is one of the fracture features of fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. The onset of this mechanism is predicted by using continuum damage mechanics, and corresponds to a localization of deformation. After deriving two damage models from a uniaxial bundle approach, different configurations are analyzed through numerical methods. For one model some very simple criteria can be derived, whereas for the second one none of these criteria can be derived and the general criterion of localization must be used.

Ceramic matrix composites offer significant potential for improving the performance of turbine engines. In order to achieve their potential, however, improvements in design methodology are needed. In the past most components using structural ceramic matrix composites were designed by “trial and error” since the emphasis on feasibility demonstration minimized the development of mathematical models. To understand the key parameters controlling response and the mechanics of failure, the development of structural failure models is required. A review of short-term failure models with potential for ceramic matrix composite laminates under monotonic loads is presented. Phenomenological, semi-empirical, shear-lag, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, and statistical models for the fast fracture analysis of continuous fiber unidirectional ceramic matrix composites under monotonic loads are surveyed.
