The stress-strain behavior for laminated ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) was studied. A model of calculating the stress-strain behavior for CMCs directly from constituent parameters was presented based on multi-scale method. On the basis of the micromechanical model of unidirectional fiber reinforced CMCs

the nonlinear mechanical response of unidirectional laminate can be calculated from the mechanical parameters of constituents. Subsequently

the stress-strain response of the entire composites can be obtained from the response of unidirectional laminate by finite element methods. The predicted stress-strain curves of laminated CMCs under monotonic tensile and repeated loading were acceptable if compared with the experimental results. Among these curves and their corresponding experimental results

the biggest deviation was 19.61%.
