Abstract
A theoretical model is developed for the slice compression test performed on multiple-fibre ceramic-matrix composites to measure the interfacial mechanical properties of a borosilicate/Nicalon and a LAS/Nicalon composite. The results obtained in this model, which considers non-uniform stresses in the fibre and matrix at the top plate and varying frictional stress at the debonded interface, are compared to those predicted from other models which use different assumptions. It is concluded that the shear-lag model is more suitable for a unidirectional composite than for a bidirectional composite laminate, and the results are sensitive to the models used and the assumptions made therein.
