Abstract: This study introduces a refined multi-scale micromechanical framework for analyzing C/C-SiC ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) using a dedicated Parametric High-Fidelity Method of Cells (PHFGMCs). A three-level geometric model is constructed from scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs and computed tomography (CT) scans. Specialized dual micro-meso nested PHFGMCs are employed to accurately generate the effective properties and spatial distributions of local stress fields in the highly heterogeneous microstructure of an 8-harness C/C-SiC representative volume element (RVE). The proposed refined framework recognizes the different micro- and meso-scales, ranging from the carbon fiber and amorphous carbon matrix to intra-yarn segmentation and weave regions. All are nested in a complete 8-harness architecture. The refined PHFGMC analyses showed good agreement between predicted mechanical properties and experimental data for C/C-SiC. The model's ability to resolve local spatial deformation in the complex microstructure of C/C-SiC CMCs is demonstrated. These findings highlight the need for a refined multi-scale analysis that captures microstructural complexity and constituent interactions influencing both macroscopic and local responses in C/C-SiC CMCs. The proposed PHFGMC-based framework provides a robust theoretical and computational foundation for the future integration of nonlinear and progressive damage models within C/C-SiC CMC material systems.
