Abstract
Results of linear elastic, finite-element continuum and micro-mechanics analyses are presented. These analyses were performed on coupons of monolithic alloy MA956 and a composite MA956/ Sapphire systems. The objective of the analyses was to predict the oxide cracking patterns observed in experiments. The finite element analyses successfully predicted random orientation of surface cracks for the monolithic MA956 system whereas for the composite MA956/Sapphire system the analyses predicted non-intersecting cracks that were aligned parallel to the orientation of the sapphire fibers. The results of the finite element analyses were found to be in good agreement with the experiments and qualitatively supported the experimental results.
