Ceramic matrix composite schematic

FIGURE 18.17 Schematic stress-strain curve for a tough fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite. 

Fig. 8.37 Schematic illustration of the primary toughening mechanisms in ceramics and ceramic-matrix composites. Note that all mechanisms are extrinsic in nature and promote inelastic deformation which results in a nonlinear stress/strain relationship [4]. With kind permission of Professor Ritchie...

Figure 9.10 schematically shows the stress-strain diagram of a ceramic matrix composite. First cracks in the matrix occur at a stress of [Pg.311]
