Abstract
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are attractive for applications at elevated temperatures because of their low density, high strength, refractoriness, and toughness. Mechanical properties pf these fiber-reinforced CMCs are dependent on properties of the reinforcing fibers, matrix, and fiber-matrix interface. In addition, issues related to thermomechanical and thermochemical compatibility are important contributors to the overall mechanical response of CMCs. Furthermore, processing conditions can have a significant influence on the mechanical behavior of composites because most CMCs are processed at relatively high temperatures where fiber properties may degrade because of the thermal or thermochemical effects. Therefore, a CMC useful in high-temperature structures requires selection of candidate reinforcing fibers, matrix materials, and reinforcement coatings with thermomechanical and thermochemical stability at application temperatures for extended time periods.
