Previous works have shown that ceramic matrix composites are sensitive to delayed failure during fatigue in oxidizing environments. The phenomenon of slow crack growth has been deeply investigated on single fibers and multifilament tows in previous papers. The present paper proposes a multiscale model of failure driven by slow crack growth in fibers, for 2D woven composites under a constant load. The model is based on the delayed failure of longitudinal tows. Additional phenomena involved in the failure of tows have been identified using fractographic examination of 2D woven SiC/SiC composite testspecimens after fatigue tests at high temperatures. Stochastic features including random load sharing, fiber overloading, fiber characteristics and fiber arrangement within the tows have been introduced using appropriate density functions. Rupture time predictions are compared to experimental data.

The fracture surfaces of a metallic–glass (amorphous) ribbon reinforced glass–ceramic and metallic ribbon reinforced glass matrix composite were studied. The features observed in the fracture surface of the brittle matrix were interpreted in terms of fast and slow crack growth in these composites. The implications of the nature of this crack growth on the toughness of such composites was also investigated.

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are targeted for high temperature application in aircraft and power turbines, because of their low density and high-temperature thermo-mechanical properties, compared to conventional nickel super alloys. New test methods are needed for the assessment of the effects of delamination cracks on the structural integrity and life of CMC components. The ASTM C28 Fracture Toughness (Crack Growth Resistance – CGR) Working Group has drafted a standard test method for the “Mode I Interlaminar Fracture Tougness (GIc – Crack Growth Resistance) of Fiber-Reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) by Wedge Loading of a Double Cantilever Beam at Ambient Temperatures” The wedge loading method was developed to avoid the problems of high temperature bonding of loading blocks and hinges. The ASTM test standard details the scope, use, and application of the test method, interferences, test equipment, specimen geometry and preparation, test procedures, data interpretation and calculation, and reporting requirements for the new CMC CGR test method.
