Summary
The initial simplifying assumptions made in models available in the literature for describing both the strength and toughness of unidirectional fiber-reinforced ceramics, in which the matrix generally fails first by a process of multiple fracture, are reviewed. The effect of the simplifying assumptions on the predictions of the models are demonstrated for two recently proposed statistical models for ultimate strength based on modified bundle failure analyses and for the case of the distribution of pull-out lengths.
