Abstract
In the present program, Nicalon preforms of tubular geometry were fabricated with different fiber architectures (filament winding, 3D braiding, or cloth winding) to tailor the mechanical properties for specific applications. Mechanical characterization requires specialized equipment and methodologies, which are now under development by the authors. This paper will present a description of the methodologies required for ceramic composite characterization, and will describe initial results for ceramic composite tubes, a representative geometry for gas turbine components. Future needs and opportunities will also be discussed.
