EPFL2000Tensile strength of fiber-reinforced composites: II. Application to polymer matrix composites
An analytic model for predicting the tensile strength of uniaxial fiber-reinforced composites is applied to several different graphite-fiber composites and shows good agreement with measured strengths. The model includes the effects of fiber statistical st ...
1998Thermal expansion of metals reinforced with ceramic particles and microcellular foams
The thermal expansion of three isotropic metal-matrix composites, reinforced with SiC particles or microcellular foam, is measured between 25 degrees C and 325 degrees C. All three composites show initial coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values in ag ...
1996Solidification of binary hypoeutectic alloy matrix composite castings
We consider a binary hypoeutectic alloy casting which solidifies in dendritic form in an unreinforced engineering casting and seek to predict its microstructure in a metal matrix composite. We focus on the case where the reinforcement is fixed in space and ...
