Issues in the control of fiber/matrix interfaces in ceramic composites

It is argued that virtually all ceramic-matrix composite parts will be at least locally microcracked in service, such that engineered, oxidation-resistant interfaces are a pervasive requirement. In addition, there is a host of complex parameters which affect interfacial properties. This work present...

Description
Summary:It is argued that virtually all ceramic-matrix composite parts will be at least locally microcracked in service, such that engineered, oxidation-resistant interfaces are a pervasive requirement. In addition, there is a host of complex parameters which affect interfacial properties. This work presents theoretical and experimental work examining the role of interface topography. Fiber push-out tests and an analysis of the test which includes an interface roughness contribution are described. Techniques for characterizing fiber/interface topography are described and results presented. Finally, interface degradation associated with fiber sliding is described.
