Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

This paper focuses on the sample preparation and material characterization of a carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbonitride (C/SiNC) ceramic matrix composite (CMC) system. C/SiNC CMC systems have desirable mechanical and thermal properties which makes them suitable for a wide variety of applications ranging from aerospace to power generation. CMCs are highly susceptible to manufacturing-induced defects, and the effect of these defects on the microscale damage behavior of the microstructure of these CMCs has not been researched. In order to perform the material characterization study, samples of the C/SiNC CMC system had to be prepared through a meticulous polishing process. After the samples were prepared, micrographs of the intratow region of the samples were captured using a confocal microscope. Feature extraction were subsequently performed on the micrographs that were captured. Different image processing techniques were applied to the captured micrographs to quantify the features that were identified.
