Abstract

Ceramic matrix composites exhibit optimal high temperature property and complex nonlinear behaviors including irreversible deformations and stiffness degradation under different mechanical loading conditions. In the present work, the damage evolution of the material under multi-axial loads considering effects of loading-unloading cyclic was studied and a novel continuum damage constitutive model was proposed. The material degradation was decomposed into monotonic damages and cyclic damages. The anisotropic hardening behavior of the material was considered by taking orientation dependence into account. Compared to the experimental results, the constitutive model could accurately predict the stress-strain response and stiffness degradations of the oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composites for monotonic loading and cyclic loading.
