Fracture of fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composites under conditions of thermal shock

The behaviour of fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) under conditions of thermal shock was investigated in this study. A series of water-quench tests were carried out on samples of cross-ply and plain- weave (PW) woven Nicalon/CAS (calcium aluminosilicate) composites. Damage modes due...
