The dam￾age accumulation included micro-cracks propagating, matrix cracking, interfacial debonding/sliding, and fibers breaking (Wang and Laird, 1995). Due to the mismatch of the ther￾mal expansion coefficients between the carbon fibers and SiC matrix, there are some unavoidable microcracks existed within the SiC matrix. These microcracks propagated when the tensile loading increased, accompanying with new micro￾cracks initiated in the matrix. After the local stress exceeded the load bearing capability of the SiC matrix, the microcracks joined together to form macrocracks, leading to the crack￾ing of the matrix. Then the tensile loading is mainly borne by the carbon fibers. From the mixture law for the compos￾ites, Ec = VfEf + VmEm, the modulus of the composites is mainly depended on VfEf, so the modulus of the composite decreased. 3.2. Microstructure observation Typically nonlinear tensile stress–strain curves indicated a typical non-brittle fracture behavior of the multiply nee￾dled C/SiC composite. To further understand the fracture characteristics of the multiply needled C/SiC composite, the microstructures of the composite and the fracture surfaces of tested specimens were observed by SEM in this work. Fig. 4 shows the microstructure of the multiply needled C/SiC com￾posite before mechanical loading, and Fig. 5 shows the typical fracture surface of tested specimens. As shown in Fig. 5a, the fracture surface was very ragged, and the fracture of clus￾ters mainly occurred at the crossover of needling fibers and unidirectional fibers. Detailed observations revealed that the clusters fractured at various elevations (Fig. 5b). The fracture characteristics mentioned above are closely related to the microstructure of the composite and suitable thickness of the PyC interphase. As shown in Fig. 4a, the Fig. 5 – Typical fracture morphologies of the multiply needled C/SiC composite. (a) Fracture surface and (b) Pullout of carbon fibers
