Obtaining SiC fibers–PyC interfacial properties through push-out FEM Models

Silicon carbide (SiC) has attractive properties for use in nuclear reactors. However, it is hampered by inherent brittleness that is overcome through a fiber-reinforced composite. A finite element model based on cohesive zone contact coupled to Coulomb friction is proposed to simulate the push-out r...
