Abstract
The Young's modulus, thermal expansion coefficient and fracture behavior
of different ceramic phases in the Si?B?C system have been determined
from room temperature up to 1200 ?C using results of tests performed
on matrix-dominated carbon fiber reinforced microcomposites by means
of a specific high temperature testing apparatus. Results have shown
that the boron-rich materials had higher stresses to failure and
thermal expansion coefficients than silicon-rich materials whereas
all the boron containing materials exhibited a viscoplastic time-dependant
mechanical behavior over 1000 ?C. The thermoelastic values of the
Si?B?C based carbides thus obtained have been used to compute thermal
residual stresses in model composite systems, in view of understanding
some results reported in the literature regarding the implantation
of layered matrices in ceramic matrix composites.
