通过观察C/C-SiC复合材料组元分布的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)照片,获得了C/C—SiC复合材料化学气相渗透(CVI)制备过程中产生孔隙和微裂纹的几何信息。在此基础上,建立了包含孔隙和微裂纹的C/C—SiC微结构有限元模型,并利用均匀化等效计算方法预测了平纹编织C/C-SiC复合材料的模量。针对CVI沉积方式制备的2组不同的C/C-SiC复合材料,实验测试与等效计算结果表明:基于SEM照片建立的C/C—SiC纤维束和复合材料微结构有限元模型,能够反映CVI工艺制备C/C—SiC中孔隙和微裂纹的分布状况;计算结果与实验数据有良好的一致性,数值计算可有效预测C/C—SiC编织复合材料的模量。
The woven carbon fiber reinforced C-SiC binary matrix (C/C-SiC) composite manufactured by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) method was investigated. Based on the material tomography of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), distributions of porosities and micro-cracks were identified and included in the finite element model of C/C- SiC composites. The homogenization method was used for the evaluation of effective modulus of woven C/C-SiC composites. The results of the numerical computing and experimental tests were compared for two cases of C/C-SiC composites with different layer thickness. It is shown that the proposed finite element models of C/C-SiC can characterize physically the real situation of the involved porosities and micro-cracks related to the CVI process. The numerical results of effective modulus agree reasonably with the experimental ones.
