Abstract
The toughnesses of a 2-D laminar SiC/SiC composite consisting of a 40 v/o 8H/S weave Nicalon fabric and a CVI beta SiC matrix were measured at room temperature for the three principal orthogonal directions. The interlaminar toughness was 1.30 MPa m1/2 and those across the fabric were 9.12 and 12.56 MPa m1/2. Other mechanical properties exhibited similar anisotropy. The results are compared with the toughnesses of other SiC materials and a C/C laminar composite of similar macroscopic construction.
