Abstract
A thermoelastic model has been developed for the prediction of the state of stress of composite fibers when subjected to thermomechanical loads. The model is based on a system of four infinitely long and perfectly bonded concentric cylinders. Predictions are presented for composite fibers produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and in particular for the SCS-6 fiber, for which it is found that neglecting the strains that the substrate experiences during CVD in the calculations, can lead to severe underestimates of the magnitude of the predicted residual stresses. Relationships are established between the predicted state of stress and experimentally observed changes of strength with temperature, stress thresholds in creep and structural defects such as debonding at the interfaces for the SCS-6 filter.
