Abstract

The interface and porosity play important roles in determining the damage of C/C composites (C/Cs). This study presents a novel finite element model that incorporates cohesive elements with porosity. Based on this model, numerical analyses were conducted to investigate the axial compressive damage of C/C composites with orthogonal woven structure (3DOW) and fine weave pieced (3DFWP) structures, both of which are 3D woven structures. The results indicate that damage initially occurs at the interface, and axial fiber damage is the decisive factor in material failure. The pores at the interface have little effect on the failure of C/Cs. Eliminating the pores within the fibers significantly improves the compression performance of the material, and the strengths of the two structural models increase by 28% and 6%.
