This paper presents a micromechanical model to predict the time-dependent damage and deformation behavior of an orthogonal 3-D woven SiC fiber/BN interface/SiC matrix composite under constant tensile loading at elevated temperature in vacuum. In-situ observation under monotonic tensile loading at room temperature, load–unload tensile testing at 1200 °C in argon, and constant load tensile testing at 1200 °C in vacuum were conducted to investigate the effects of microscopic damage on deformation behavior. The experimentally obtained results led to production of a time-dependent nonlinear stress–strain response model for the orthogonal 3-D woven SiC/SiC. It was established using the linear viscoelastic model, micro-damage propagation model, and a shear-lag model. The predicted creep deformation was found to agree well with the experimentally obtained results.
