On a first creep model for a 2D SiCf–SiC composite

For ceramic matrix composites, damage is generally of a highly complex nature, with several damage mechanisms and strong unilateral features depending on whether microcracks are open or closed. During high temperature, inelasticity or viscoplasticity can occur. This paper deals with the application...

Description
Summary:For ceramic matrix composites, damage is generally of a highly complex nature, with several damage mechanisms and strong unilateral features depending on whether microcracks are open or closed. During high temperature, inelasticity or viscoplasticity can occur. This paper deals with the application of a damage mechanics approach, based on continuum mechanics, to solve these problems of inelasticity and damage. The models are constitutive relationships able to describe and predict the damage state of a structure at any time, and at any point, up to the final fracture. These equations include all physical information coming from the micro-, meso- and macro-scales. Using microscopic observation of the tested specimens, the possible mechanisms involved in the measured inelasticity are discussed, in order to establish the evolution of the chosen viscoplastic potential.
