Abstract
High temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are material considered in many applications where high heat fluxes constitute a significant contribution to loading. The laminates can fulfill their function as thermal protection layers only if they stay intact, i.e. without internal delaminations or spalling, such that the heat flux remains undisturbed by such events. Crack bridging is an important effect in CMCs, and its implication to CMC laminates under thermal loading is investigated.
