description <p><strong>Background:</strong>&nbsp;Ceramic matrix composites are promising materials for high temperature application in aerospace and nuclear engineering. In these applications, thermal shock is an important potential cause for failure.</p> <p><strong>Objective:</strong>&nbsp;In order to study thermal shock resistance of SiC/SiC composite braided tubes, a novel method has been developed to apply thermal shock cycles to tube sections and then measure the residual tensile strength.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong>&nbsp;SiC/SiC composite braided tubes have been thermally shocked by many cycles in a short time using a novel test platform based on quartz lamp irradiation heating. The circumferential tensile strength was measured using C-ring specimens after thermal shock testing of short tube sections. Numerical simulations of the stress from the thermal shock test were conducted using the finite element method.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong>&nbsp;The circumferential tensile strength decreased with increasing number of thermal shock cycles in air. An embrittled region with limited fiber pullout due to oxidation extended from the surface.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong>&nbsp;The test platform can simulate service environments with fast temperature cycling for small test specimens in air.</p>
