Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present work, stress-dependent matrix crack opening behavior of SiC/SiC composites was analyzed considering stochastic fragmentation in fibers. The stochastic matrix multiple fragmentation model was adopted to determine the fragmentation lengths of three different types, the accompanying interface debonding process was assessed by the fracture mechanics theory, and stochastic fiber fragmentation was determined by the global load sharing (GLS) criterion. Considering the aforementioned multiple micro-damage mechanisms, matrix crack opening displacements (CODs) in different matrix fragmentation states were determined using a micromechanical technique. Relationships between CODs and the constituent properties of SiC/SiC composites with fiber fragmentation were established. The crack opening behavior of SiC/SiC composites was also analytically predicted. Effects of fiber stochastic fragmentation on crack opening-related damage parameters were examined.
