Investigation Into the Macroscopic Pseudo‐Ductility Mechanisms of Ceramic Matrix Composites Using a New Cohesive Zone Model

Addressing the apparent contradiction between the macroscale pseudo‐ductile response of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) and the intrinsic brittleness of their constituents, this study proposes a new trilinear cohesive zone model (CZM) to provide new insights into the mesoscale damage evolution mechanisms. Developed wi...
