Longbiao Li
English

Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) possess high specific strength and modulus when used at elevated temperatures and have been applied in various high temperature applications. To ensure the reliability and safety of these materials in service, it is necessary to perform multiscale analysis of their damage and fracture behaviour. Multiscale Analysis of Ceramic-Matrix Composites: Experiment and Theory presents recent research progress in the multiscale analysis of ceramic-matrix composites, including both experimental methods and theory models. The book begins with an introductory section on the design and fabrication of CMCs. Part Two then goes on to discuss micromechanical damage mechanisms in detail. The final section of the book focuses on multiscale modelling of CMCs and their associated components. The book will be a valuable reference resource for the materials scientist and engineer illustrating how multiscale analysis can improve the safety and reliability of these materials during service.
