Multi-scale analysis of the progressive failure behaviour of 2.5D woven SiC/SiC composites under compression by Chenyu Yang, Chao You, Weilong Wu, Qiyu Wu, Xiguang Gao, Fang Wang, Yingdong Song

“…Subsequently, the microscale and mesoscale failure modes of the specimens were comprehensively characterised using X-ray computed tomography (X-CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To simulate the damage evolution process of specimens, a multi-scale finite element model representing the meso-scale structure of 2.5D SiC/SiC composites was developed, in which the proposed progressive damage method emphasising on matrix damage was adopted. …”
