Abstract
Ceramic matrix composites have been chosen as turbine materials in the design of energy-efficient, reliable, and cost-effective 21st century civil propulsion systems. For this reason, melt-infiltrated SiC/SiC woven composites were studied at room and elevated temperatures, below and above matrix cracking. A finite element model was developed to predict the monotonic and cyclic loading behavior of the woven composite, and the initial test data was used to develop an analytical model.
