Fatigue Behavior Of An Advanced Sic/Sic Composite With An Oxidation Inhibited Matrix At 1200°C In Air And In Steam, Jacob Delapasse
Theses and Dissertations
The fatigue behavior of an advanced Silicon Carbide/Silicon Carbide (SiC/SiC) ceramic matrix composite (CMC) with oxidation inhibited matrix was investigated at 1200˚C in laboratory air and in steam environments. The composite consisted of an oxidation inhibited SiC matrix reinforced with Hi-Nicalon fibers coated with pyrolytic carbon (PyC) with a boron carbide overlay woven into eight-harness-satin (8HS) weave plies. Tensile stress-strain behavior and tensile properties were evaluated at 1200˚C. Tension-tension fatigue tests were conducted in both laboratory air and in steam at 1200˚C at frequencies of 0.1 Hz, 1.0 Hz, and 10 Hz. The tension-tension fatigue tests had a ratio of …
