Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Thermal Conductivity of SiCf/SiC Composites
SiC fiber-reinforced silicon matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites are of significant interest for the aircraft engine. The thermal conductive behaviors of [0-90-0]s SiCf/SiC composites along in-plane and out-of-plane (thickness) directions were reported in this paper. The thermal conductivity of the SiCf/Si...

| description | SiC fiber-reinforced silicon matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites are of significant interest for the aircraft engine. The thermal conductive behaviors of [0-90-0]s SiCf/SiC composites along in-plane and out-of-plane (thickness) directions were reported in this paper. The thermal conductivity of the SiCf/SiC composite was tested by using the steady-state measuring apparatus. Then, the thermal conductivity of the SiC matrix was predicted by finite element analysis (FEA). The representative volume element (RVE) models of SiCf/SiC composites were built, and FEA was used to investigate thermal conductive behaviors. It was found that the thermal conductivity along the fiber radial direction was greater than it was in the axial direction in the SiCf/SiC composite and that the thermal conductivity of the out-of-plane direction is lower than that of the in-plane one. The thermal conductivity of the SiCf/SiC composite in the in-plane direction at room temperature was 31.1 Wm−1K−1 and 28.5 Wm−1K−1, and the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction was 24.9 Wm−1K−1. The experimental thermal conductivity showed a good agreement with the thermal conductivity of FEA. |
