通过拉伸、压缩实验, 从宏观上研究了平纹编织C/ SiC 复合材料在简单载荷作用下模量、残余应变及泊松比的变化。通过断口观察, 分析了材料在面内拉、压载荷作用下的损伤与失效模式。实验结果表明, 拉伸载荷作用下, 材料在低应力就开始损伤。0°纤维束表面基体开裂和层间裂纹是主要损伤形式。损伤后, 随着应力增加, 拉伸卸载模量、泊松比线性减小, 残余应变增加; 压缩应力-应变基本呈直线关系, 模量、泊松比基本不变。拉伸破坏表现为韧性断裂, 断裂机理为分层后0°纤维束的断裂、携带90°纤维束拔出; 压缩破坏形成一个与加载方向成13°的断裂平面, 破坏机理为层间裂纹、0°/ 90°纤维束之间裂纹和90°纤维束内裂纹的产生和迅速扩展、最后0°纤维束剪切断裂。

2D-SiC/SiC复合材料拉伸加卸载行为

为了研究国产2D-SiC/SiC复合材料的拉伸损伤行为以及低周循环载荷作用下的力学性能,通过试验和建立加卸载细观力学模型,对其拉伸加卸载行为进行了探讨。建立了单向连续纤维增强陶瓷基复合材料加卸载细观力学模型,得到了初始加载、卸载和重新加载时的应力-应变关系;利用断裂统计方法得到了基体裂纹数随应力变化的关系和复合材料失效判断条件。经过应力转化,将该模型应用于国产二维编织SiC/SiC复合材料。对单向加载试件,采用正交试验方法和最小二乘法得到基体Weibull模量和界面剪切阻力,通过控制材料失效强度与试验结果一致,得到纤维Weibull模量。由上述参数确定的2D-SiC/SiC复合材料拉伸循环加卸载应力-应变曲线与实测曲线吻合很好。通过Matlab编程得到2D-SiC/SiC复合材料单向加载时基体开裂过程图。结果表明,2D-SiC/SiC复合材料失效时,基体裂纹分布相对比较均匀;基体裂纹数随应力单调增加,未出现持平段,表明材料失效时,基体裂纹还没有达到饱和。     

平纹编织SiC/SiC复合材料多尺度建模及强度预测

连续SiC纤维增强SiC基体复合材料（SiC/SiC）具有优异的高温力学性能、辐照稳定性及较低的氚渗透率,在核工程结构领域具有良好的应用前景,掌握其承载状态下的损伤演化和强度性能,对SiC/SiC复合材料的应用具有重要指导意义。本文基于平纹编织SiC/SiC复合材料的制备过程和组分材料分布的多尺度特性,考虑复合材料微观结构的局部近似周期性,建立了纤维丝尺度和纤维束尺度单胞模型。使用有限元分析软件对纤维丝尺度模型的弹性性能和强度性能进行预测,将这些性能参数代入纤维束尺度模型,引入Tsai-Wu失效准则,根据材料的不同失效模式并对失效单元进行方向性刚度折减,模拟了平纹编织SiC/SiC复合材料在单轴拉伸载荷下的渐进损伤过程。数值模拟曲线与试验曲线吻合较好,实现了对平纹编织SiC/SiC复合材料强度的有效预测。

不同界面SiC/SiC复合材料的断裂行为研究

碳化硅纤维增强碳化硅复合材料(SiC/SiC)是极具前景的高温结构材料。通过先驱体浸渍裂解(PIP)工艺分别制备了PyC界面和CNTs界面SiC/SiC复合材料, 对两种SiC/SiC复合材料的整体力学性能以及界面剪切强度等进行了测试表征, 并对材料中裂纹的产生与扩展进行了原位观测。结果表明, 两种界面SiC/SiC复合材料弯曲强度相近, 但PyC界面SiC/SiC复合材料的断裂韧性约为CNTs界面SiC/SiC复合材料的两倍。在PyC界面SiC/SiC复合材料中, 裂纹沿纤维-基体界面扩展, PyC涂层能够偏转或阻止裂纹, 材料呈现伪塑性断裂特征; 而在CNTs界面SiC/SiC复合材料中, 裂纹在扩展路径上遇到界面并不偏转, 初始裂纹最终发展为主裂纹, 材料呈现脆性断裂模式。     

Z-pin增强CMC层间Ⅰ+Ⅱ混合型断裂韧性

纤维束波动效应对平纹编织复合材料损伤行为的影响

平纹编织复合材料中纤维束波动效应会引起随动材料主方向变化及面外剪切应力集中,为了研究其对平纹编织复合材料力学性能及损伤行为的影响,提出改进的像素法细观有限元单胞模型。模型根据纤维束波动曲线定义了材料主方向的变化,采用Hashin准则模拟纤维束的损伤起始,并引入剪切修正因子考虑面外剪切应力对面内拉伸损伤的影响。模型可以预测平纹编织复合材料的面内拉伸强度和损伤演化过程,结果表明:纤维束材料主方向波动会引起平纹编织复合材料面内拉伸强度下降;面外剪切应力集中是导致复合材料最终失效的主要原因,且随着剪切修正因子增大,复合材料面内拉伸强度显著降低;纤维束材料主方向波动和面外剪切应力集中均对平纹编织复合材料的损伤行为和破坏机理产生了影响,需要在数值分析中对其进行准确描述。

Micromechanical modeling of damage and failure mechanisms in C/C–SiC

This paper deals with modeling of damage and failure mechanisms observed in 2D C/C–SiC composite samples loaded by tension, shear and compression. In a specimen subjected to tension, the early stage of damage is characterized by transverse cracking. Further load increase induces fiber failure in the longitudinal plies, which leads to fracture. Shear loading gives origin to cracks oriented at 0°/90° and 45° to the fiber axes, the latter causing fracture. Specimens loaded in compression exhibit catastrophic failure due to microbuckling of fiber bundles. Micromechanical models are formulated for the discussed mechanisms. Results of numerical simulations show good agreement with experiments and the ability of the model to describe more complex loadings.     

三向碳碳材料在小偏轴角拉伸下的切口强度预报

在小偏轴角拉伸下,带切口的三向碳碳材料平面试件首先沿切口平面作自相似扩展。扩展到断裂的纤维束数与宽度方向的纤维束总数之比达到某一数值时,试件沿纤维束(或在另一些单层中垂直纤维束)方向剪断。断裂是灾难性的,所以这种切口强度预报与简单拉伸时的切口强度预报是相当的;区别仅在于在小偏轴角拉伸时,纤维束除受拉伸应力外,还作用有不可忽视的剪应力。本文对纤维束作了拉剪联合作用的强度测量,以得到其强度的概率分布的参数。据此预报了三向碳碳材料在小偏轴角拉伸时的切口强度,以及整个试件剪断时的断裂的纤维束数与纤维束总数之比值,理论预报与实验结果吻合良好。      

预制体结构及界面对三维SiC/SiC复合材料拉伸性能的影响

为研究预制体结构及界面对三维编织SiC/SiC复合材料拉伸性能的影响,采用先驱体浸渍裂解法（PIP）分别制备了三维四向和三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料,并引入热解炭/碳化硅（PyC/SiC）复合界面层,进行拉伸性能测试和断口形貌观察。结果表明,三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料拉伸性能优于三维四向SiC/SiC复合材料,三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料的拉伸强度、模量和断裂应变分别是三维四向SiC/SiC复合材料的1.22倍、1.25倍、1.43倍,且比三维四向SiC/SiC复合材料具有更好的强度可靠性。这是由于三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料增加了受力方向的纤维含量,限制了纤维在外力作用下的转动和变形,起到定型和稳固作用。添加PyC/SiC复合界面层,三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料的拉伸强度、模量及断裂应变分别提高了21.7%、15.0%和11.0%。界面的存在可以保护纤维,调节纤维与基体之间的热应力,受力时诱使裂纹偏转和分叉,消耗能量,提高三维五向SiC/SiC复合材料的拉伸性能。      

Effect of on-axis tensile loading on shear properties of an orthogonal 3D woven SiC/SiC composite

The present study examines in-plane and out-of-plane shear properties of an orthogonal 3D woven SiC fiber/SiC matrix composite. A composite beam with rectangular cross-section was subjected to a small torsional moment, and the torsional rigidities were measured using an optical lever. Based on the Lekhnitskii’s equation (Saint–Venant torsion theory) for a orthotropic material, the in-plane and out-of-plane shear moduli were simultaneously calculated. The estimated in-plane shear modulus agreed with the modulus measured from ±45° off-axis tensile testing. The effect of on-axis (0°/90°) tensile stress on the shear stiffness properties was also investigated by the repeated torsional tests after step-wise tensile loading. Both in-plane and out-of-plane shear moduli decreased by about 50% with increasing the on-axis tensile stress, and it is mainly due to the transverse crack propagation in 90° fiber bundles and matrix cracking in 0° fiber bundles. It was demonstrated that the torsional test is an effective method to estimate out-of-plane shear modulus of ceramic matrix composites, because a thick specimen is not required.     

缝合式三维编织C/SiC复合材料拉伸加卸载力学行为

本文通过开展缝合式三维编织C/SiC复合材料的准静态单轴拉伸及循环加卸载试验,研究加卸载行为对复合材料的损伤及材料内部能量耗散的影响。通过对材料的断口分析,探究加卸载对材料破坏强度的影响规律。结果表明,加卸载行为会消耗材料内部的能量,对纤维束与基体之间的界面造成损伤,进而降低材料的承载能力;材料滞回曲线的面积随着卸载点应力的增大而增大;材料的整体失效属于脆性破坏,复合材料断口表现出明显的分层现象,且单轴拉伸时断口相对于循环加卸载更整齐。      

Low Shear Strength and Shear-Induced Failure in Ti3SiC2

Shear strength and shear-induced Hertzian contact damage in Ti3SiC2 were investigated using double-notched-beam specimen and steel spherical indenter, respectively. The shear strength of 40 MPa that was only about 10% of bending strength was obtained for this novel ceramic. The SEM fractograph of specimens failed in shear test indicated a combination of intergranular and transgranular fracture. Under a contact load, plastic indent without cone crack could be formed on the surface of Ti3SiC2 sample. Optical observation on side view showed half-circle cracks around the damage zone below the indent, and the crack shape was consistent with the contrail of the principal shearing stress. The low shear strength and the shearing-activated intergranular sliding were confirmed being the key factors for failure in Ti3SiC2.     

单向碳纤维增强碳化硅基复合材料的拉伸试验

采用手工精细加工板状双哑呤拉伸试件,并配以恰当的加强块,避免了因试件较短和加工等引起的夹持段压环,从夹持段拔出及试件在试验段根部破坏等问题,成功地实施了短试件（热压法制备的单向碳纤维增强碳化硅基体复合材料）的拉伸试验,微实时观察表明,由于界面强度非常弱,试件中首先出现因界面破坏而形成的沿纤维方向的裂纹,随着载荷的增加,裂纹数量迅速增多且裂纹均平行于纤维方向,最终,这些平行裂纹横向连接使试件被拉断,因此,对于界面强度过弱的单向纤维增强陶瓷基复合材料不可能产生横向的饱和裂纹。     

An approach to the mechanical behaviour of SiC/SiC and C/SiC ceramic matrix composites

The mechanical behaviour of two woven composites C/SiC and SiC/SiC was investigated at room temperature. The non-linear load-displacement curves and the damaging process were closely related to the specific structure of the composites, consisting of a network of impregnated bundles of fibres. The damage in the bundles proceeded by multiple cracking in the matrix before fibre failure, and dictated the response to the applied load. Other mechanisms, consisting mainly of distortions in bundles and their framework, induced a residual deformation and an energy dissipation. The behaviour was characterized according to the damaging process. Stress-electric strain curves revealed a mechanical response similar to those observed in unidirectional composites, although some effect of the specimen geometry on the curves was observed. Residual strains were similar in tensile and bending conditions. The work of fracture was consistently described by a volumetric rate of energy absorption, related to the applied strain, but the respective contributions of different damage mechanisms could not be determined.     

2D-SiC/SiC复合材料损伤耦合力学行为

基于轴向和45°偏轴加载实验,分别获得2D-SiC/SiC复合材料在单一轴向应力和复合应力状态下纤维束轴向方向上的拉伸、压缩和面内剪切应力-应变行为,计算分析材料在复合应力状态下的损伤耦合力学行为。结果表明,在45°偏轴拉伸和压缩复合应力状态下材料损伤耦合力学行为的起始应力分别约为40MPa和-100MPa。复合应力状态下材料纤维束轴向方向上的拉伸损伤和面内剪切损伤进程间具有相互促进作用,面内剪切损伤对压缩损伤进程具有促进作用,但是压缩应力分量对面内剪切损伤进程具有明显的抑制作用;上述损伤耦合作用随着应力水平的增加而越发显著。由试件断口电镜扫描结果可知,复合应力状态下材料纤维束轴向方向上3个应力分量对材料内部0°/90°和45°3种取向基体裂纹开裂损伤进程的影响作用,是2D-SiC/SiC复合材料产生损伤耦合力学行为的主要细观损伤机制。
