Abstract

The through thickness (interlaminar) shear strength and trans‐thickness tensile strength of three different nuclear‐grade SiC/SiC composites were evaluated at room temperature by the double‐notched shear and diametral compression tests, respectively. With increasing densification of the interlaminar matrix region, a transition in failure locations from interlayer to intrafiber bundle was observed, along with significant increases in the value of the interlaminar shear strength. Under trans‐thickness tensile loading, cracks were found to propagate easily in the unidirectional composite. The 2D woven composite had a higher trans‐thickness tensile strength (38 MPa) because the failure mode involved debonding, fiber pull‐out and fiber failure.
