DYNAMIC FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION OF CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES

Abstract
A new hybrid experimental-numerical procedure was used to characterize the dynamic fracture of TiB2-particulate/SiC-matrix and Sicw/A12O3-matrix composites at room temperature and 1200°C. The dynamic fracture initiation toughness, KId, was found to be greater than the corresponding static fracture tousghness, KIC and decreased at 1200°C. The dynamic fracture responses of the two ceramic matrix composites were characterized by the dynamic stress intensity factor (SIF) versus crack velocity relations . Small differences between the dynamic fracture responses at room temperature and at 1200°C was observed
