In this article, initial steps were taken in the study of processing mixtures of a polymer and a preceramic polymer to produce a hybrid material that contains a region of gradual transformation from a polymer to a ceramic. It is thought to be a first

Three structural carbon/polymer composites (IM7/977-2, IM7/977-3, and IM7/5250-4) were thermally cycled between liquid nitrogen (LN 2 ) temperature and an elevated temperature of 120 or 177 °C. The extent of ply-level micro-cracks was measured as a

Six carbon/polymer composites (three materials, two lay-ups each) were cryogenically cycled by repeated submersion of 5 cm × 5 cm flat plates in liquid nitrogen (LN2). The materials and lay-ups were chosen to study the density of ply-level micro-cra

The small size and low transverse modulus of commercial graphite fibers make it difficult to apply the cruciform test [1, 2] to measure interfacial normal strength of graphite/epoxy composites. The implications of cruciform testing composites with gr

A modification of the volume integral equation (VIE) method is proposed for the solution of elastostatic 2-D problems in unbounded solids containing interacting multiple fibers. The efficiency of the VIE method developed by Lee and Mal (Lee, J., Mal,

In this study, the cruciform geometry is utilized to evaluate the interfacial normal strength in unidirectional SCS-0/epoxy composites by using single-fiber specimens. These model specimens are incrementally loaded in tension to failure with a specia

An experiment was designed and constructed to perform fiber pushout tests at elevated temperatures in a controlled environment. Preliminary pushout tests on both a pristine and a transversely fatigued SiC/Ti-6-4 composite were conducted in atmospheri
