The Impact

This paper evaluates the impact damage tolerance of ceramic matrix composites and contrasts their tensile and compression strengths under impact and nonimpact conditions. The representative C/SiC composites from PIP are examined under the dropped tip system. In this paper, the surface impact test of C/SiC composites is carried out. By testing a series of specimens of various impact energies, the tensile and compression properties after impact are studied. Meanwhile, by comparing the changes of the specimens after impact and nonimpact, the fracture process, fracture modes, and residual strength are investigated. The results indicate that the residual tensile strength after impact reduces greatly, compared with the nonimpact material, by about 25%–45%, while the compression strength reduces slightly. The residual strength of tension and compression illustrates that low-energy impact effect on the structural integrity must be given priority in the thermal protection structure design of astronautics and aeronautics.

The quasi-static and dynamic compressive mechanical behaviors of two kinds of fiber reinforced SiC-matrix composites including 2D-C/SiC and 2D-SiC/SiC were investigated. Their compressive behaviors of materials at room temperature and strain rate from 10-4 to 104 /s were studied. The fracture surfaces and damage morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the dynamic failure strengths of the two kinds of fiber reinforced SiC-matrix composites obey the Weibull distribution. The Weibull modulus of the two materials were 13.70 (2D-C/SiC) and 5.66 (2D-SiC/SiC), respectively. It was found that the two kinds of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites presented a transition from brittle to tough with the decrease of strain rate. The 2D-SiC/SiC materials demonstrated a more HYPERLINK "http://dict.cnki.net/dict_result.aspx?searchword=%e6%98%be%e8%91%97%e7%9a%84&tjType=sentence&style=&t=remarkable"significant strain rate sensitivity and smoother fracture surface compared to the 2D-C/SiC composites, implying that the former composites present brittle features. This was because the SiC/SiC composites possessed high bonding strength in interface of fiber/fiber and fiber/matrix is very strong.

Ultra High Temperature

In this paper the preparation of carbon fiber reinforced ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites was reported. Polymer infiltration and pyrolysis process was used to prepare 2D C/TaC-SiC, C/NbC-SiC, and C/ZrC-SiC composites. The fracture strengths of all the samples were around 300MPa and toughness around 10MPa-m1/2. Standard oxyacetylene torch tests (>3000°C, 30s) showed that the minimum ablative rate of 2D C/SiC-ZrC was as low as 0.026 mm/s, much smaller than that of 2D C/SiC composites (0.088mm/s).

Ultra High Temperature

High-speed aviation brings many challenges, one being the materials used ensure the aircraft and rockets travelling at hypersonic speed arrive at their destination safely. Control surfaces and thermal protection systems for vehicles flying at Mach 5 or above must withstand extremely hot temperatures and intense mechanical vibrations at launch, during cruising and re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. UHTCMCs (Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites) belong to a new subclass of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) with superior properties in terms of structural and chemical stability at elevated temperature and erosion/ablation resistance keeping excellent strength-to-weight ratio, thermal shock resistance and adequate damage tolerance. They are the latest potential candidates for thermal protection systems (TPSs), able to outperform bulk ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs). C3HARME is a 4-years EU funded program involving 12 European partners from 6 countries focused on the design, fabrication and testing of UHTCMCs for nearzero erosion nozzles and near-zero ablation TPS tiles. C3harme will look at different technologies coming from the science of bulk ceramics and CMCs and combine them to find out new approaches for their manufacturing. Novel theoretical models and testing methodologies are necessary to characterize properly these materials. This talk will summarize some of the findings and advances of the program, with special emphasis on the innovative approaches that we have implemented.

The Impact

An experimental study of low-velocity impact characteristics and strength after impact was carried out on both woven fiber-reinforced resin matrix composites and woven fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. The test specimens were impacted using a dropped-weight impact test apparatus with an instrumented spherical tip. Ultrasonic C-scan was used in nondestructive testing to characterize and quantify the impact damage. Much more damage of ceramic matrix composites than that of resin matrix composites occur and process in loading stage. The peak load of resin matrix composites is higher than that of ceramic matrix composites. According to the results of observing optical photographs and C-scan images, the damage area of ceramic matrix composites is greater than that of resin matrix composites and the difference increases as the energy increases. Damage resistance of ceramic matrix composites is lower than that of resin matrix composites, but damage tolerance of ceramic matrix composites is higher than that of resin matrix composites.
