Continuous fiber-reinforced composites having Ti-alloy or Ti aluminide matrices are under consideration for refractory aerospace structural applications. An account is presently given of microscopic damage mechanisms, flaw evolution, and fracture behavior of fiber-reinforced Ti alloy and Ti aluminide matrices under various loading conditions. Attention is given to representative levels of tensile behavior, low-cycle fatigue and fatigue-crack propagation, and creep and environmentally-assisted damage. 40 refs.
