E. Vanswijgenhoven et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF THE SURFACE-ROUGHNESS OF NICALON AND TYRANNO SILICON-CARBIDE FIBERS, Composites. Part A, Applied science and manufacturing, 29(11), 1998, pp. 1417-1423
The fibre roughness plays an important role in the mechanical response
of fibre-reinforced ceramic matrix composites. With this in mind, the
surface roughness of six different silicon carbide fibre grades was i
nvestigated using atomic force microscopy. Values for both the roughne
ss amplitude and wavelength are presented and discussed. (C) 1998 Publ
