Title: Influence of Test Mode, Test Rate, Specimen Geometry, and Bending on Tensile Mechanical Behavior of a Continuous Fiber Ceramic Composite

Although it appeared that “graceful failure” is sometimes accentuated by displacement control at slow rates, a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with replication at the 95% significance level of all the test results showed that there was no significance of test rate, test mode or specimen geometry for proportional limit stress. Similarly, for ultimate tensile strength there was no significance of test rate or test mode although there was a significance of specimen geometry. Finally, for this two dimensional, plain weave fiber architecture there was no significance of test rate, test mode, or specimen geometry (including straight-sided specimens) on fracture location. Proportional limit stress decreased with increasing bending while ultimate tensile strength appeared independent of bending.Read More
