Nonlinear Behavior of Ceramic-Matrix Composites

Nonlinear Damage Behavior of Ceramic Matrix Composites help readers [researchers, material scientists and design engineers] gain greater understanding on the damage mechanisms inside CMCs so they can better design components used in aeronautics and astronautics. Key areas addressed in the book include: the nonlinear damage behavior of ceramic-matrix composites, including damage mechanisms and models, nonlinear damage behavior of ceramic-matrix composites under tensile and fatigue loading, strain-rate dependent, stochastic loading dependent, and time dependent nonlinear damage behavior, and the effect of pre-exposure and thermal fatigue on non-linear damage behavior of ceramic-matrix composites. - Provides comprehensive coverage on damage mechanisms and models under tensile and cyclic fatigue loading which ultimately control nonlinear behavior - Covers nonlinear damage analyses of CMC components and experimental observations of damage evolution - Presents extensive knowledge on fracture mechanic principles used in the design of aerospace propulsion systems

Dr. Longbiao Li completed his PhD from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2011. His main research area is the study of durability in high-temperature ceramic-matrix composites. In this research field, he has already published >105 SCI papers over the past five years, in: Ceramics International, Journal of the European Ceramic Society, Composites Part B, the International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, International Journal of Fatigue, Materials Science and Engineering A, Engineering Fracture Mechanics, and the International Journal of Fracture. He has been involved in numerous projects related to the structural damage, reliability and airworthiness design for aircraft and aero engine, supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China, COMAC Company and AECC Commercial Aircraft Engine Company.
