Creep Of Sylramic-Ibn Fiber Tows At Elevated Temperature In Air And In Silicic Acid-Saturated Steam, Kevin B. Sprinkle
Creep Of Sylramic-Ibn Fiber Tows At Elevated Temperature In Air And In Silicic Acid-Saturated Steam, Kevin B. Sprinkle
Theses and Dissertations
Stressed oxidation experiments on Sylramic-iBN fiber tows were performed to evaluate the novel fiber's mechanical performance, creep behavior, and creep mechanisms. This research effort investigated creep response of Sylramic-iBN fiber tows at elevated temperatures in both air and in silicic acid-saturated steam environments. Creep experiments were conducted at creep stresses ranging from 127 to 762 MPa at 400°C and 500°C in order to examine the mechanical behavior of the Sylramic-iBN fiber tows at temperatures below and above the melting point of boria (450°C). Sylramic-iBN fibers are known to have excellent creep resistance, better than most other non-oxide fibers and significantly …
Effect Of Prior Exposure At Elevated Temperatures On Tensile Properties And Stress-Strain Behavior Of Three Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites, Christopher J. Hull
Effect Of Prior Exposure At Elevated Temperatures On Tensile Properties And Stress-Strain Behavior Of Three Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites, Christopher J. Hull
Theses and Dissertations
Thermal stability of three oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites was studied. The materials studied were NextelTM610/aluminosilicate (N610/AS), NextelTM720/aluminosilicate (N720/AS), and NextelTM720/Alumina (N720/A), commercially available oxide-oxide ceramic composites (COI Ceramics, San Diego, CA). The N610/AS composite consists of a porous aluminosilicate matrix reinforced with laminated woven alumina N610 fibers. The N720/AS and N720/A composites consist of a porous oxide matrix reinforced with laminated, woven mullite/alumina (NextelTM720) fibers. The matrix materials are aluminosilicate in N720/AS and alumina in N720/A. All three composites have no interface between the fibers and matrix, and rely on the porous …
Tension-Compression Fatigue Of An Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature In Air And Steam Environments, Richard L. Lanser
Tension-Compression Fatigue Of An Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature In Air And Steam Environments, Richard L. Lanser
Theses and Dissertations
Tension-compression fatigue behavior of an oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composite was investigated at 1200°C in air and steam. The composite is comprised of an alumina matrix reinforced with Nextel 720 fibers woven in an eight harness satin weave. The composite relies on a porous matrix for damage tolerance. Compression and tension tests to failure were conducted to characterize basic mechanical properties. Tension-compression fatigue tests were performed at 1 Hz frequency with a ratio of minimum to maximum stress of -1. Maximum stresses ranged from 60-120 MPa. Fatigue run-out (defined as 105 cycles) was achieved in air at 80 MPa and in …
