Abstract

The fatigue hysteresis behavior of unidirectional, 2D cross-ply and woven, and 2.5D woven fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) are analyzed. Based on the fiber/matrix interface debonding and sliding behavior, the fiber/matrix interface debonding and sliding lengths are determined using the fracture mechanics approach. The fiber/matrix interface debonding ratio and interface sliding ratio are determined for different interface slip cases. The effects of fiber volume fraction, peak stress, matrix crack spacing, interface shear stress, interface debonded energy, fibers failure, fiber Poisson contraction, fiber strength, fiber Weibull modulus, matrix cracking mode, applied cycle number and fiber/matrix interface wear on the fatigue stress–strain hysteresis loops and the fiber/matrix interface debonding and sliding are discussed. The experimental cyclic fatigue stress–strain hysteresis loops of unidirectional SiC/CAS, SiC/1723 and C/SiC, 2D cross-ply SiC/CAS and woven SiC/SiC, and 2.5D woven C/SiC composites under cyclic loading/unloading tensile and tension–tension fatigue loading are predicted.
