Abstract
Continuous fibre reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are increasingly being employed in safety critical applications. As a result, their use in these applications requires the adoption of appropriate design methodologies that are able to consider their complex non-linear mechanical behaviour. In this paper, a simple but robust formulation for continuum damage model, thermodynamically consistent and written under plane stress condition, is proposed for a laminated 2D woven composite material. This model is implemented via the Classical Laminate Theory (CLT) extended to non-linear behaviour to predict the behaviour of different stacking sequences. In-plane tensile tests were performed on an oxide/oxide composite up to 1000 °C to fully identify the model. The procedure is described and used on tests at room temperature before being extended higher temperature tests. Finally, the law and its coupling with the CLT are validated by means of tests on quasi-isotropic and cross-ply laminates at different temperatures.
