High-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of SiC-based Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) at High TemperaturesHigh-cycle fatigue (HCF) behavior of a melt-infiltrated, pre-preg SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) was investigated using dogbone tensile specimens without and with simulated cooling holes at 1500 and 2400 °F. The CMC material used for this study was fabricated by GE Aviation and had a ply configuration of [0/90/0]3. HCF tests were conducted with an R-ratio of 0.6 and a cyclic frequency of 30 Hz. Runout in HCF was defined as 30 million cycles. Monotonic tensile tests were conducted at room temperature (RT) on as-received CMC specimens and on runout HCF specimens to determine residual tensile strengths. Digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE) techniques were used to monitor the initiation and progression of damage in RT tensile tests on specimens with and without holes. Microscopy was performed on the polished edge of specimens without cooling holes and on the polished face of specimens with cooling holes that were tested in HCF and achieved runout. Comparisons were made with baseline specimens. Fractography was performed to examine the fracture surfaces of samples that failed under different loading conditions.
