Prediction and design of multi-phase and multi-layer C/SiC composites

Carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix (C/SiC) composite is a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) that has considerable promise for use in high-temperature structural applications. In this book, systematic numerical studies including the prediction of elastic and thermal properties, analysis and optimization of stresses and simulation of high-temperature oxidations are presented for the investigation of C/SiC composites.
