Book excerpt: In this project, research efforts have been made to address some of the most critical and complex issues on high-temperature damage, degradation and failure of advanced composites. For the convenience of program planning and execution, the research as been formulated in the form of several interrelated technical tasks with distinct focuses. In the study of high-temperature ceramic-matrix the following tasks have been conducted: (1) High-temperature fiber/matrix interface properties and failure mechanics; (2) High-temperature micromechanics theories for thermoelastic constitutive equations for whisker-reinforced ceramic composites with large temperature traverse; (3) High-temperature creep deformation and micromechanics modeling of inelastic composite constitutive properties with composite microstructure and damage, and (4) High-temperature toughening mechanisms, and mechanics of crack growth fracture. For the high-temperature polymer-matrix composite study, the following thermomechanics issues with internal and external damage have been addressed: (1) thermal oxidation reaction and stability at elevated temperatures; (2) chemical and physical aging in extreme thermal environments; (3) microstructure changes and property degradation associated with aging at elevated temperatures; and (4) long-term thermomechanical creep and associated damage modes.
