Abstract
Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic composites (CFCCs) are candidate materials for numerous components and applications in the energy-related industries because of their potential for strength retention and tough behavior at elevated temperatures. Since the design of these components will also require the design of the CFCC itself, it is necessary to know the effect of the properties of the constituents and their interfaces in a number of micromechanical mechanisms which are responsible for the macroscopic mechanical behavior of CFCCs. Furthermore, considering that the pay-off of using CFCCs will be greatest for long service life applications, it is also necessary to determine how these mechanisms would change with time, temperature and environment.
