“…The CTEs of silicon [22], SiC [21], Ti 3 SiC 2 [9] and TiSi 2 [28] are 4.1 Â 10 À6 , 4.6 Â 10 À6 , 9.1 Â 10 À6 and 11.2 Â 10 À6 K À1 . Young's moduli of carbon fiber [21], silicon [29], SiC [30], Ti 3 SiC 2 [9] and TiSi 2 [28] are 230, 160, 420, 333 and 256 GPa. Due to the same intra-bundle microstructure, the calculation of stress caused by inter-bundle microstructure can reflect the difference between all three samples.…”
