Toward virtual ceramic composites
  A first step toward a multi-scale and multi-physic model --a virtual material-- for self-healing ceramic matrix composites is presented. Each mechanism --mechanical, chemical-- that act on the material's lifetime at a given scale --fibre, yarn-- is introduced in a single modeling framework, aimed at providing powerful prediction tools.
