Stressed Region

This paper considers the multi-axial stress-strain-failure response of two commercially woven ceramic matrix composites. The different failure mechanisms of uni-axially stressed tows and woven composites are addressed. A model is postulated in which the local transverse and shear stressing, arising from the weave, instantaneously deactivate wake debonding and fiber pullout and initiates dynamic fiber failure; hence, triggering catastrophic failure of the axially stressed region of the tow. The model is shown to predict experimentally measured stress-strain-failure results for the woven composites considered. Simple stress-strain-failure models are also proposed for tows subjected to axial-transverse and axial-shear loadings, but due to the lack of experimental data they have not been validated.

Phase Angles

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.
