In this paper, micromechanical constitutive models are developed to predict the tensile and fatigue behavior of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) considering matrix fragmentation and closure. Damage models of matrix fragmentation, interface debonding, and fiber’s failure are considered in the micromechanical analysis of tensile response, and the matrix fragmentation closure, interface debonding and repeated sliding are considered in the hysteresis response. Relationships between the matrix fragmentation and closure, tensile and fatigue response, and interface debonding and fiber’s failure are established. Experimental matrix fragmentation density, tensile curves, and fatigue hysteresis loops of mini, unidirectional, cross-ply, and 2D plain-woven SiC/SiC composites are predicted using the developed constitutive models. Matrix fragmentation density changes with increasing or decreasing applied stress, which affects the nonlinear strain of SiC/SiC composite under tensile loading, and the interface debonding and sliding range of SiC/SiC composite under fatigue loading.

An approach to estimate fiber/matrix interface frictional coefficient of ceramic matrix composites under fatigue loading is developed by means of hysteresis loops. The Coulomb friction law is adopted to describe the interface shear stress in the debonded region. The matrix crack space and interface debonded length are obtained by matrix statistical cracking model and fracture mechanics interface debonding criterion. The hysteresis loops of four different cases are derived based on the damage mechanisms of fiber sliding relative to matrix in the debonded region during unloading and subsequent reloading. The hysteresis loss energy corresponding to different cycle is formulated in terms of interface frictional coefficient. By comparing the experimental hysteresis loss energy with computational values, the interface frictional coefficient of three different ceramic matrix composites under fatigue loading is derived.

In this paper, the temperature-dependent vibration damping in C/SiC fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) with different fiber preforms under different vibration frequencies is investigated. A micromechanical temperature-dependent vibration damping model is developed to establish the relationship between composite damping, material properties, internal damage mechanisms, and temperature. The effects of fiber volume, matrix crack spacing, and interface properties on temperature-dependent composite vibration damping of CMCs and interface damage are analyzed. The experimental temperature-dependent composite damping of 2D and 3D C/SiC composites is predicted for different loading frequencies. The damping of the C/SiC composite increases with temperature to the peak value and then decreases with temperature. When the vibration frequency increases from f = 1 to 10 Hz, the peak value of composite damping and corresponding temperature both decrease due to the decrease of interface debonding and slip range, and the damping of 2D C/SiC is much higher than that of 3D C/SiC at temperature range from room temperature to 400 °C. When the fiber volume and interface debonding energy increase, the peak value of composite damping and the corresponding temperature decreases, mainly attributed to the decrease of interface debonding and slip range.

Under cyclic fatigue loading, cyclic-dependent damage mechanisms affect the vibration damping of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs). In this paper, a cyclic-dependent vibration damping model of fiber-reinforced CMCs is developed. Combining cyclic-dependent damage mechanisms, damage models and dissipated energy model, relationships between composite vibration damping, cyclic-dependent damage mechanisms, vibration stress and applied cycle number are established. Effects of material properties and damage state on composite vibration damping are analyzed for different applied cycle number and vibration stress. Experimental composite vibration damping of 2D and 3D C/SiC composites without/with coating is predicted for different vibration frequencies and applied cycle number. With increasing applied cycle number, cyclic-dependent composite vibration damping increases due to the increase ratio of interface debonding and slip. When fiber volume and matrix cracking spacing increase, cyclic-dependent composite vibration damping decreases due to the decrease ratio of interface debonding and slip.

A micromechanical vibration damping model of fiber-reinforced ceramic–matrix composites is developed considering interface debonding. The relationship between the stress-dependent composite damping and interface debonding is established. Effects of material properties and damage-related parameters on the vibration damping of fiber-reinforced CMCs are discussed. Experimental vibration damping with interface debonding of C/SiC composites is predicted. When the vibration frequency increases from f = 1–5 Hz, the vibration damping decreases due to the increasing dynamic interfacial shear stress and low frictional dissipated energy in the debonding region. The composite vibration damping decreases with increasing fiber volume, matrix crack spacing and interface shear stress, and increases with fiber radius and fiber elastic modulus. When the interface debonding energy increases, the vibration damping decreases when the interface partial debonding and approaches the same value when the interface complete debonding, and the vibration stress for complete interface debonding increases.
