Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The programme of research aims to establish an ultra high temperature fatique testing facility for the mechanical characterisation of monolithic ceramics and CMC's. After commissioning, in order to prove the system, the facility will be used to evaluate the monotonic and strain controlled fatique response of an advanced CMC, namely Allied Signal (Dr Pont Lanxide) Hi- Nicalon SiC/Al203. Strain-life relationships together with the associated monotonic and cyclic stress-strain information will be generated in order to provide data suitable for component design, modelling and stress anaysis. A comprehensive fractographic assessment of the fractured specimens will provide a fundamental understanding of the failure mechanisms operating under these extreme environmental conditions. Theexercise will optimise testing procedures necessary for future materials assessment.
