Popis: The shear response of a Nicalon-reinforced ceramic-matrix composite was investigated using Iosipescu tests. Damage was characterized by X-ray, optical, and SEM techniques. The large inelastic strains which were observed were attributed to rigid body sliding of longitudinal blocks of material. These blocks are created by the development and extension of intralaminar cracks and ply delaminations. This research reveals that the debonding and sliding characteristics of the fiber-matrix interface control the shear strength, strain softening, and cyclic degradation of the material.
