[0002] Fiber bundle ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are widely used in high-temperature structural components such as aerospace engines due to their high strength, good high-temperature resistance, and low density. When these materials operate in extreme environments, they are often subjected to alternating complex operating conditions. Simultaneously, the high-temperature oxidizing environment causes irreversible chemical reactions within the material, resulting in various damage modes such as interfacial debonding, fiber oxidation, and matrix cracking, thus significantly affecting the mechanical properties of CMCs.

[0003] The mechanical behavior of ceramic matrix composites exhibits significant nonlinear characteristics, and their complex microstructure and damage evolution make accurate prediction of material properties difficult. Especially under high-temperature oxidizing conditions, oxygen diffuses into the material interior through matrix cracks and pores, inducing interfacial oxidation and fiber degradation, leading to a continuous decrease in material strength and stiffness. This cumulative effect of micro-damage makes the macroscopic mechanical response of the material even more challenging. Summary of the Invention

[0054] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] This invention discloses a method for calculating the oxidation constitutive model of fiber bundle ceramic matrix composites, the method comprising the following steps:

[0062] See Figure 6 The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S1, the gas diffusion mechanism of oxygen in the crack channel is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, an oxidation kinetic model for ceramic matrix composites is constructed.

[0064] The boundary conditions are set such that at the crack inlet (y=0), the oxygen concentration is the same as the external gas concentration, and at the crack bottom (y=L), the oxygen concentration is affected by the oxidation reaction, satisfying the condition of oxygen consumption and diffusion flux balance.

[0065]

[0066] The oxidation kinetic equation at any time t is rewritten as a first-order ordinary differential equation with respect to the crack depth y over time dt, thus transforming the boundary value problem into an initial value problem to obtain its numerical solution. By setting the diffusion time and the number of steps for crack depth, the variation of oxygen concentration with temperature and crack depth is obtained.

[0067] The oxidation kinetics satisfy the above equations at any time t, and therefore can be written as a first-order ordinary differential equation of y over time dt. The boundary value problem is then transformed into an initial value problem to obtain its numerical solution. In this example, the diffusion time is set to 1000 s, and the crack depth steps are 50 steps.

[0085] Step S2: Based on the concentration calculation results in step S1, and using the oxidation kinetic model, determine the carbon-oxygen reaction rate and derive the relationship between the tensile strength of the C fiber bundle and the changes in oxidation temperature and oxygen concentration.

[0086] Based on the oxidation kinetics model, the expression for the carbon-oxygen reaction rate is determined as follows:

[0087]

[0088] In the formula, E r The activation energy for the reaction is set to 200 kJ / mol.

[0089] fiber radius consumption r over time f (t) can be described as:

[0090]

[0091] The relationship between the fiber radius at the crack tip and time as oxidation proceeds is expressed as follows:

[0092] R f (t)=R f0 +h I -r f (t);

[0093] In the formula, the initial fiber radius R f0 The value is 6.5um, h I This indicates that the PyC interface thickness is 0.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 .

[0094] Assuming that the fiber strength during oxidation is directly proportional to its bearing area, then the fiber strength at time t is:

[0096] In the formula, The strength of intact fibers is taken as 5.12 GPa, R f (t) represents the fiber radius at time t; the fiber strength calculation results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown

[0097] Step S3: Calculate the fiber strength results and, based on the breaking force value of the carbon fiber bundle, perform an equivalent offset on the carbon fiber strength distribution under different oxidation temperature environments.

[0098] Based on the tensile strength of C fiber bundles at different oxidation temperatures, the strength distribution of in-situ C fiber monofilaments at room temperature is equivalently shifted, with the shift amount being:

[0099]

[0100] In the formula, R f (T,t) represents the fiber radius after oxidation at temperature T for time t. The offset results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0101] Step S4: Based on the interface slip model, calculate the fiber and matrix stress distribution in the forward slip zone, reverse slip zone, and undebonded zone, respectively.
