Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the mechanical properties of continuous SiC fiber reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites and verified the correlation laws between different properties. The results showed that fiber bridging is the key mechanism controlling this correlation, while interlaminar shear is influenced by matrix cracking and interlaminar pores.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanical behavior of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) mechanical joints, focusing on the pseudoplastic behavior of CMC fasteners and the effect of the nonuniform microstructure. Special z-pinned joints with different porosities were prepared using a chemical vapor infiltration joining method, and the pin load distribution was indirectly characterized by measuring the strain distribution. The results show that the nonuniform distribution of rivet density leads to uneven distribution of pin loads, and various factors such as matrix cracking, crack deflection, interlayer sliding, and fiber pull-out affect the shear performance of the rivets.

Summary: The molecular dynamics simulation model established in this study revealed that the disordered structure of the PyC interphase and the non-planar shear of the carbon layer during shearing process contribute to increased shear strength of the composites. Failure mechanisms were found to be internal breakage of the PyC interphase when its strength was lower than bonding with fiber and matrix, and debonding with fiber or matrix when its strength was higher than bonding.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the static performance of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) shear pockets for accelerated bridge construction systems. The results indicate that the arrangement of shear studs has a negligible effect on the shear capacity but significantly affects the slip. Grouped studs can increase the shear stiffness by at least 60%.

Summary: Silicon carbide (SiC) foam was densified with beta-SiC through chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) technique after polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. Highly entangled and branched SiC wires of uniform diameter were observed over the struts of open-cell SiC foam, showing a uniform diameter increase with CVI reaction period. The resultant foam exhibited good thermal stability and could be used in various high-temperature applications.

Summary: The deposition rate and amount of CVI SiC matrix play a crucial role in the manufacturing of SiCf/SiC composites, as the optimal values can enhance the flexural strength and microstructural homogeneity, while excessive deposition leads to closed pores. Additionally, the hybrid CVI and PIP technique improves the density and reduces porosity of the composites, making them more suitable for various industrial applications.

Summary: Continuous carbon fiber reinforced (SiC-ZrC)(n) multi-layer structural matrix composites were prepared using isothermal chemical vapor infiltration method. The microstructure, bending strength, and ablation resistance of the composites with different number (n) of SiC-ZrC layers were studied. Increasing the number of layers improved the bending strength and ablation resistance.

Summary: To improve the fabrication efficiency and address the contradiction between construction progress and structural performance in composite structures, the shear performance of stud connections with different concrete ages was analyzed. 18 typical vertical push-out tests were conducted on stud shear connectors at concrete ages of 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. The effects of concrete age, stud spacing, and stud diameter on the shear capacity, connection stiffness, and failure mode of the connectors were studied. A new relationship expression for load-slip of stud connectors with various concrete ages was proposed, and a more practical prediction equation for the shear capacity of stud connectors with different concrete ages was established by evaluating the existing design code.

Summary: The study found that different manufacturing methods have different effects on the performance of SiCf/SiC composite tubes, such as the influence of gas supply route on microstructure homogeneity in rotation CVI method, and the strength enhancement by SiC nanorods in nanorod-assisted CVI method. Meaningful strength values were measured even outside the boundary conditions of the C-ring strength in standard test method for large diameter tubes made of forced CVI, highlighting the need for further evaluation.

Summary: This study aims to clarify the shear mechanism and strength of a new gravity-type grouted sleeve connection using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Direct shear tests were conducted to investigate the shear performance of the UHPC-based connection. The test results showed that the shear strength of the UHPC-based connection is significantly higher than that of the traditional connection, and its failure mode is more similar to that of cast-in-place (CIP) specimens. Based on the analysis of the shear mechanism, formulas were proposed to predict the shear strength of the UHPC-based connection, which were validated by the experimental data.
