Abstract

The fracture behavior of a 3-D braided Nicalon fiber-reinforced SiC matrix composite processed by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) has been investigated. The fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance under various thermomechanical loadings have been characterized. The results obtained indicate that a tough and durable structural ceramic composite can be achieved through the combination of 3-D fiber architecture and the low temperature CVI processing.
