Parametric Study and Optimization of 2D Woven C/C-SiC Composite

In this paper, the finite element model of C/C-SiC microstructure characterizing different scale parameters was established for the woven C/C-SiC composites. The strain energy method was used to study the effects of relevant parameters for the microstructure upon the macroscopic performances of C/C-SiC composites. A model of microstructure optimization for C/C-SiC composite was present according to the influences of different parameters. Numerical computing results were compared for many cases of C/C-SiC composites with different scale parameters. It is shown that the elastic properties of C/C-SiC composites are associated with the scale parameters identified in the C/C-SiC composites.
