Damage Progression in Generic Ceramic Matrix Composite Turbine Airfoils

Abstract

A dedicated experimental test program was conducted to characterize the development of damage in generic airfoils manufactured using ceramic matrix composites and to compare those results to FEA predictions. This report describes test results for interlaminar tension, tensile in-plane shear, tensile, fatigue, creep rupture, and subelement testing.
