Abstract Diamond-reinforced composites prepared by cold spray are emerging materials simultaneously featuring outstanding thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Their mechanical and fatigue properties relevant to perspective engineering applications were investigated using miniature bending specimens. Cold sprayed specimens with two different mass concentrations of diamond 20% and 50% in two metallic matrices (Al – lighter than diamond; Cu – heavier than diamond) were compared with the respective pure metal deposits. These pure metal coatings showed rather limited ductility. The diamond addition slightly improved ductility and fracture toughness of the Cu-based composites; having a small effect also on the fatigue crack growth resistance. In case of the Al composites; the ductility as well as fatigue crack growth resistance and fracture toughness have improved significantly. The static and fatigue failure mechanisms were fractographically analyzed and related to the microstructure of the coatings; observing that particle decohesion is the primary failure mechanism for both static and fatigue fracture.

Abstract The objective of this effort is to predict ceramic matrix composites (CMC) interlaminar Mode II Crack Growth Resistance (CGR), and the design of ASTM test specimen. Currently, there are a number of test standards and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for CMC’s at both ambient and elevated temperatures; however, there are no standardized test methods for determination of interlaminar shear (Mode II) fracture toughness in CMC’s. Although research work exists on interlaminar Mode II fracture toughness of CMC’s, the test methods applied showed definite drawbacks and limitations. Delamination Crack Growth (CGR) tests of CMC Mode II may exhibit zig-zag pattern, wavy cracks, fiber bridging, and premature specimen failure under bending load. The experimental parameters that may contribute to the difficulty can be summarized as specimen width and thickness, interface coating thickness, mixed mode failure evolution, and interlaminar defects. Modes II crack growth resistances, GII, were analytically and numerically determined at ambient temperature using end notched flexure (ENF) and the end-loaded split (ELS). Finite Element (FE) based. Multi-scale progressive failure analysis (MS-PFA) a combined Micro-mechanical damage and fracture mechanics Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) algorithms. Modeling of melt-infiltrated SiC/SiC CMC of ENF specimen (Laminate: with initial crack length was accomplished using a MS-PFA and VCCT approach. Test data were compared with MS-PFA prediction: a) Force vs. Crack Opening Displacement; and b) Mode II crack tip energy release rate vs. crack extension length for both edge and center line due to formation of Micro Crack Density Contribution, Crack Tip Stiffness Reduction; and c) zig-zag crack growth behavior (adhesive/cohesive). Next the ASTM Standard Proposed linear SGR equation was developed based on interpretation compliance technique from both MS-PFA Analysis and Test.
