NSUF 16-661: Investigation of the interface strength for matrix-fiber interface of irradiated SiC composite materials
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the interface strength for matrix-fiber interphase of irradiated SiC/SiC composite materials. In this manner, the effects of irradiation on the evolution of mechanical behavior in these materials may be explained in a systematic manner. In particular the focus is on evaluating ultimate shear strength of fiber-matrix interphase in the irradiated specimens by preparing micro pillar specimens using SEM/FIB and in-situ flat-punch compress test using nano-indentation technique.
