Linking microstructure and local mechanical properties in SiC-SiC fiber composite using micromechanical testing

<p>Local mechanical properties of SiC-SiC fiber-reinforced composite – matrix, fiber and interphases – were evaluated using nanoindentation and microcantilever fracture testing. The fracture toughness was found to be ∼4.25 MPa*m<sup>1/2</sup> in the matrix, ∼2 MPa*m<sup>1/2&l...
