Description
I am asking 3-5 papers on searching 2 different material for 3 categories each explaining the material and comparing between them in regards of (density, strength, stiffness and durability) and the cost; and discuss why they are successful and why not?.
The three different categories:
1- Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs): two materials.
2- Metal matrix composites (MMCs) : two materials.
3- Polymer matrix composites (PMCs): two materials.

1. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs)
Ceramic matrix composites, CMCs, are subgroups of the composite materials in addition
to the ceramics subgroup. Ceramic matrix composites consist of the ceramic fibers embedded
within the ceramic matrix. The matrix, as well as the threads, can comprise of any ceramic
product having the consideration to carbon, silicon alongside the carbon and silicon fibers.
Ceramic matrix composite consists of materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide
and silicon carbide-reinforced-silicon carbide. The elements differs based on their elongation to
rapture up to one percent, strength in increased fracture toughness, extreme thermal shock
resistivity, increased dynamically alongside load capability as well as anisotropic properties
regarding the fibers’ orientation (Zok, 2016).
Materials
C/SiC
C/SiC refers to the ceramic matrix composite material which is carbon-fiber-reinforced
silicon carbide. The material has a density of 2.1grams per cubic centimeters. The C/SiC material
has a tensile strength of 310MPa and a flexural strength of 475MPa. The material has a stiffness
of 12% with its durability up to 0.75% (Zok, 2016). The material components result to its high
cost.
SiC/SiC
Silicon carbide-reinforced silicon carbide is a ceramic matrix composite material which
has a density of 3.1 grams per cubic centimeters, tensile a...
