Impact will cause damage and reduce the strength of composites. An approach on
predicting the residual strength of ceramic matrix C/SiC composite with impact damage is
proposed, experimental and numerical investigations on low-speed impact damage and
residual strength analysis of composites are conducted. According to the measured
mechanical parameters, the C/SiC composite was regarded as homogenized orthotropic
material to improve the calculation efficiency and simplify the finite element model. The …
