Quasi-Ductile Behaviour of Carbon-Reinforced Carbon

Firstly a brief review of the problem of a “ductilization” of ceramic materials by endless-fiber reinforcement is given. The problems, especially the influence of the frictional stress in the fiber-matrix interface, are pointed out for the unidirectionally reinforced ceramic matrix composite (CMC) system LAS/SiC, which is well documented in the literature.
