Journal ArticleDOI
The fracture toughness of glassy carbons at elevated temperatures
TL;DR: The fracture toughness of three different glassy carbons heat treated at 1000, 2000 and 3000°C was measured at temperatures between 25 and 750°C as mentioned in this paper, showing that Young's elastic modulus varies inversely with measurement temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of air oxidation at 873 K on the mechanical properties of a carbon-carbon composite
TL;DR: In this paper, a carbon-carbon composite, composed of semi-random chopped PAN fibers in a resin char and CVD carbon matrix, was oxidized in air at 873 K to burn-offs up to 55%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidation effects on toughness and slow crack growth in polycrystalline graphites
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture toughness and slow crack growth behavior of polycrystalline graphites, oxidized to 5, 10 and 20% weight losses, were measured in air at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcritical crack growth of glassy carbon in water
TL;DR: In this article, the subcritical crack growth characteristics of glassy carbons in water were measured and correlated with their elastic moduli, and it was observed that the susceptibility to fatigue varies inversely with the elastic modulus, which is directly related to the crack growth parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcritical crack growth in fine grained polycrystalline graphites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured subcritical crack growth in polycrystalline graphites in air at room temperature and found that the crack growth was correlated with processing conditions and microstructure.
