Ebook: Thermal and Mechanical Test Methods and Behavior of Continuous-Fiber Ceramic Composites

This book provides access to the latest research data, technical advances, and novel experimental techniques for the evaluation of continuous-fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs). This new volume also introduces the first published reports of applications of recently approved ASTM test methods for CFCCs, and contains significant information for many engineering applications where materials may be exposed to service cycles in various aggressive environments. Types of CFCCs examined include those processed with chemically infiltrated, polymer-impregnated, sintered, melt-infiltrated, or viscous glass-infiltrated matrices. 19 peer-reviewed papers focus on the following five categories:

Room-Temperature Test Results/Methods

High-Temperature Test Results/Methods

Nondestructive Characterization

Modeling and Processing

Testing of Tubes
