A MORI-TANAKA THEORY FOR TEXTURED SHORT-FIBER COMPOSITES - APPLICATION

Nicola Marzari

The homogenizing scheme of Ferrari and Johnson yields the effective elasticities of short-fiber composites with arbitrary orientation distributions. As a foundation for the relative numerical analysis, their homogenizing scheme is here recast in the space ...

TEXTURAL AND MICROMORPHOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON THE OVERALL ELASTIC RESPONSE OF MACROSCOPICALLY ANISOTROPIC COMPOSITES

Nicola Marzari

The Mori-Tanaka elastic response of composites with inclusions exhibiting nontrivial orientation distributions is studied. The effect of texture is evaluated for various fiber and matrix materials, various inclusion geometries, and in the presence of aniso ...

THEORY OF MECHANICAL-PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC-MATRIX COMPOSITES

William Curtin

A theory is presented to predict the pullout work and ultimate tensile strength of ceramic-matrix composite (CMC) materials tested under uniaxial tension as functions of the underlying material properties. By assuming that the fibers fracture independently ...

FIBER FRAGMENTATION IN A SINGLE-FILAMENT COMPOSITE

William Curtin

The fiber fragment distribution obtained from tensile testing of a single-filament composite contains vital information on the in situ strength of the fiber at short gauge lengths and on the shear stress across the fiber/matrix interface. Here, this fragme ...

EXACT THEORY OF FIBER FRAGMENTATION IN A SINGLE-FILAMENT COMPOSITE

William Curtin

An exact theory is developed to describe the evolution of fibre fragmentation in a single-filament composite test as a function of the underlying fibre statistical strength and fibre/matrix interfacial shear stress, tau. The fragment distribution is a comp ...

Interfacial phenomena in the solidification processing of metal matrix composites

Andreas Mortensen

Capillary phenomena pertinent to solidification processing of metal matrix composite materials are reviewed. Recent research on the design of wettability measurement methods that are pertinent to metal matrix composite fabrication and overcome limitations ...

Fabrication Of Cast Particle-Reinforced Metals Via Pressure Infiltration

Andreas Mortensen

A new casting process for fabrication of particle-reinforced metals is presented whereby a composite of particulate reinforcing phase in metal is first produced by pressure infiltration. This composite is then diluted in additional molten metal to obtain t ...

Solid Composite Material Particularly with Ceramic Dispersates

Andreas Mortensen

Composites of materials in which the matrix material does not spontaneously or readily wet the disperse phase and in which the volume fraction of the disperse phase is less than that formed in a packed bed of dispersate particles can be made effectively by ...

Interface chemistry of inorganic composite materials

Andreas Mortensen

Interfaces in metal and ceramic composites differ from interfaces in polymer matrix composites inasmuch as: (i) fiber degradation due to chemical reaction with the matrix at processing temperatures is frequent and (ii) bonding at the interface is generally ...
