Abstract

Silicon carbide fibers in a Ti24Al+llNb matrix were debonded under varying combinations of shear and compression in off axis loading in a pushout test. Evidence of debond crack branching was recorded for etched specimens using scanning electron microscopy and the interface microstructure was examined by transmission electron microscopy. The regions of high shear stress and multiple weak interfaces promoting crack branching were analyzed in terms of an energy balance for brittle fracture.
