This book was released on 2013 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal matrix composite materials comprised of hard carbide particles in various titanium alloy matrices have been developed which may be utilized for biomedical applications requiring high-wear-resistance materials (i.e., spinal disc replacement). Two matrix materials, an alpha-beta and a beta titanium, were evaluated with varying carbide contents ranging from 0 % to 15 % by volume. In general, the alpha-beta titanium matrix yielded higher fracture toughness and resistance to crack propagation compared to the beta matrix composites. This matrix also showed less sensitivity to wet testing conditions over the beta matrices, retaining its increased toughness with increased carbide content. The addition of carbide particles generally reduced the fracture and fatigue properties; however, the effect was variable. It was observed that, of the composite materials, the 10 % carbide in an alpha-beta titanium matrix composite yielded the highest fracture toughness (30.7 MPa.m1/2) and fatigue crack threshold (2.2 MPa.m1/2) and was the most stable with respect to environment.

This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Fatigue in Metals and Composites provides a balanced treatment of the phenomenon of fatigue in metals, nonmetals and composites with polymeric, metallic and ceramic matrices. The applicability of the safe life philosophy of design is examined for each of the materials. Attention is also focused on the stable crack growth phase of fatigue and differences in the operative mechanisms for the various classes of materials are considered. The impacts of these differences on the development of damage tolerance strategies are examined. Among topics discussed are; variable amplitude loading with tensile and compressive overload; closure obstruction; bridging mechanisms; mixed mode states; small cracks; delamination mechanisms and environmental conditions. The arrangement and presentation of the topics are such that An Introduction to Fatigue in Metals and Composites can serve as a course text for mechanical, civil, aeronautical and astronautical engineering and material science courses as well as a reference for engineers who are concerned with fatigue testing and aircraft, automobile and engine design.

Download or read book Fracture and Fatigue written by Lawrence J. Broutman and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite Materials, Volume 5: Fracture and Fatigue covers the concepts, theories, and experiments on fracture and fatigue behavior of composite materials. The book discusses the fracture of particulate composites, including metal, polymer, and ceramic matrices; relates micromechanics effects to composite strength; and summarizes the various theories relating constituent properties and microstructure to fracture. The text also describes differing theories regarding the strength and fracture of composites; and the theory and experiment relating to time-dependent fracture covering both long-term as well as dynamic fracture. The fatigue of both polymer- and metal-matrix composites and the factors influencing the toughness of both brittle and ductile matrix composites are also considered. Design engineers, materials scientist, materials engineers, and metallurgists will find the book useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive review of its kind on the long-term behaviour of composite materials and structures subjected to time variable mechanical, thermal, and chemical influences, a subject of critical importance to the design, development, and certification of high performance engineering structures. Specific topics examined include damage, damage characterization, and damage mechanics; fatigue testing and evaluation; fatigue behaviour of short and long fibre reinforced polymer and metal matrix materials; viscoelastic and moisture effects; delamination; statistical considerations; the modeling of cumulative damage development; and life prediction. The volume provides an extensive presentation of data, discussions, and comparisons on the behaviour of the major types of material systems in current use, as well as extensive analysis and modeling (including the first presentation of work not found elsewhere). The book will be of special interest to engineers concerned with reliability, maintainability, safety, certification, and damage tolerance; to materials developers concerned with making materials for long-term service, especially under severe loads and environments, and to lecturers, students, and researchers involved in material system design, performance, solid mechanics, fatigue, durability, and composite materials. The scope of the work extends from entry level material to the frontiers of the subject.

Download or read book Micromechanisms of Fatigue Crack Growth and Fracture Toughness in Metal Matrix Composites written by David L. Davidson and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed micromechanics analysis has been performed on a composite of 2014 aluminum alloy matrix with 15 vol.% particulate SiC. This composite was manufactured by the Dural Co. by casting and extrusion. The matrix alloy was peak aged before testing. The microstructure was found to contain about 3% intermetallic particles in addition to those expected for this material. Fatigue cracks were grown from approximately threshold to rapid fracture stress intensities. Fatigue cracks growth rates and fracture toughness were measured. Analyses of the crack tips were performed by stereoimaging at low and intermediate stress intensities, and just prior to the onset of rapid fracture. Detailed strain maps were derived, and considerable influence of SiC on strain was found. Analyses of microcracks near the main crack were made and found to have only a small influence on fracture. Key words: Metal matrix composites, Silicon carbide reinforcement, Fatigue crack growth, Fracture toughness, Particulate strengthening, Crack growth micromechanisms. (jes).
