Jl. Bobet et al., ESTIMATION OF RESIDUAL-STRESSES IN SIC TI-15-3 COMPOSITES AND THEIR RELAXATION DURING A FATIGUE TEST - PART I - PRESENTATION OF THE MODELS/, European journal of solid state and inorganic chemistry, 35(4-5), 1998, pp. 305-317
Different models for the calculation of residual stresses induced by c
ooling down from elaboration process in SiC/Ti-15-3 composite were pre
sented. First of all, an analytical model (derived from those of Eshel
by and of Mikata and Taya) already used for ceramic matrix composites
is explained. It is a suitable method for elementary composites but we
present an extension of this model to real (1D) composites. Then, we
also briefly present the finite model using MARC anc MENTAT softwares.
Finaly, an analytical model to predict the evolution of TRS during a
fatigue test is detailed. The part II of the paper will present the re
sults obtained using all these differents models.
