Dynamic elastic modulus and vibration damping behavior of porous silicon carbide ceramics at elevated temperatures

Journal Article · · Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance

The piezoelectric ultrasonic composite oscillator technique (PUCOT) has been used to measure the Young's modulus, E, the mechanical damping, Q{sup {minus}1}, and the strain amplitude, {epsilon}, of a sintered silicon carbide containing pores (Hexoloy-SP). The silicon carbide material used in this study had at least 14 vol% porosity. Young's modulus was found to have a linear temperature dependence from room temperature to 740 C. The damping was near 10{sup {minus}4} and was independent of strain amplitude above room temperature.
