Abstract
Today there exists a strong technological need to develop ceramic and metal matrix composites that are reinforced by continuous-length ceramic fibers and that display thermostructural behavior better than conventional high-temperature materials, such as nickel-based superalloys. To achieve these high-performance, high-temperature composites (HTC), numerous research and development programs are in progress throughout the world to address three primary technical areas: (1) measurement and understanding of the various factors controlling the thermostructural behavior of the HTC and its constituents, i. e., fiber, matrix, and interphase; (2) mechanism-based models to describe and predict the behavior of the individual constituents and their performance as an integrated composite system; and (3) innovative process and design approaches for optimizing high temperature behavior. As with any high-performance composite, the fiber is the principal load-bearing constituent so that major emphasis is being placed on research efforts aimed at the measurement, modeling, and improvement of the thermostructural properties of advanced ceramic fibers.
