Quantitative comparison of information-rich data fields from characterisation/simulation of microstructural damage in ceramic matrix composites

Abstract

It is proposed to exploit recent research at the University of Liverpool on the decomposition of displacement and strain fields in the analysis of data acquired during an AFRL study on microstructure-sensitive damage characterization/simulation in continuous fiber reinforced ceramic composites. Five tasks are identified that focus on different aspects of the available data including x-ray CT images of microstructural voids, displacements fields measured using digital image correlation during loading to fracture and fiber orientation fields associated with microstructural anomalies. The outcomes will be demonstrations of the potential to extract more detailed, quantitative information from measured data fields and to make quantitative comparisons both between measured data fields, and predicted with measured data fields.
