Abstract
In this chapter, the strength degradation of non-oxide and oxide/oxide fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) subjected to multiple fatigue loading at room temperature, oxidation environment at elevated temperature, and cyclic loading at elevated temperatures in oxidative environments is investigated. Considering damage mechanisms of matrix cracking, interface debonding, interface wear, interface oxidation, and fiber fracture, the residual strength model of CMCs is established by combining the microstress field of the damaged composites, the damage models, and the fracture criterion. The relationships between the composite residual strength, fatigue peak stress, interface debonding, fiber failure, oxidation time and temperature, and applied cycle number are established. The effects of the peak stress level, initial and steady-state interface shear stress, fiber Weibull modulus, fiber strength, oxidation temperature and time on the degradation of composite strength and fiber failure are investigated. The evolution of residual strength versus oxidation temperature and time and applied cycle number curves of non-oxide and oxide/oxide CMCs is predicted.
