Introduction Carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic matrix (C/SiC) composites are widely used as structural materials in aero￾nautic and space industries (i.e., thermal protection systems (Naslain, 2005; Christin, 2002), advanced propulsion (Schmidt et al., 2004; Bouquet et al., 2003) and braking systems (Krenkel and Berndt, 2005)) due to their high damage tolerance with pseudo-ductility and strain-to-failure compared with mono￾lithic ceramics. Chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) is the most promising process for fabricating composites with advan￾tages of manipulating and modifying the microstructure of the matrix, tailoring the fiber/matrix interface, and fabricat￾ing complex net or near-net shaped components at relatively low temperatures (Chiang et al., 1989; Cao et al., 1990). The mechanical properties and microstructure of 2D, 2.5D and 3D C/SiC composites have been investigated extensively. 2D laminated composites have good in-plane mechanical ∗ Corresponding author.

However, the 2D composites have some fabrication problems and poor delam￾ination resistance. 2.5D and 3D braided composites have a superior delamination resistance (Ma et al., 2006; Boitier et al., 1997; Xu and Zhang, 1997) but have a high cost. To improve the delamination resistance and save cost, a unique kind of multiply preform was developed by the means of the through-the-thickness needling technique. The multiply nee￾dled preforms have 3D architecture in real sense, which are similar to that of Novoltex preforms reported in literatures (Lacoste et al., 2002) but differ significantly from the multiply stitched preforms reported in literatures (Mattheij et al., 2000; Lomov et al., 2002). The multiply needled preforms consisted of unidirectional plies arranged in the desired orientations and short-chopped fiber fabrics. The individual plies and fabrics were kept together by needling yarns.
