| Summary: | The mechanical behaviour of a braided SiC-SiC ceramic composite tube has been investigated under different loading conditions using X-ray computed tomography. In-situ observations under flexural loading and internal pressurization, analysed by digital volume correlation, provide detailed 3D maps of the deformation and damage. These observations are used to validate high-fidelity microstructure-based models, which aim to simulate the effects of microstructure variations on the mechanical integrity of the composite under different loading conditions. |
