Abstract
Oxide/oxide-ceramic matrix composites (ox/ox-CMCs) are excellent candidates for material applications in high-temperature and oxidizing environments, which exhibit complex couplings between the thermal and mechanical fields. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted for 0°/90° and ± 45° fiber orientation of the thermal shocked ox/ox-CMCs. The study reveals that the anisotropy properties of the thermal shocked ox/ox-CMCs result in different degrees of thermomechanical damage, which are reflected in the degeneration of the modulus. Based on the detailed experiments and analysis, a cyclic thermal shock-induced thermomechanical damage model of the 2-D woven ox/ox-CMCs is proposed, incorporating two tensile scalar damage parameters, and one shear scalar damage parameter. The model will contribute to predicting the thermomechanical damage evolution throughout the composite structure under thermal transient conditions. In addition, the model was validated with numerical simulation to demonstrate the damage model performance, which is relatively crucial in damage tolerance analysis in the aeronautical industry.
