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.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the shift from the Metal Age progresses, materials engineers and materials scientists seek new analytical and design methods to create stronger and more reliable materials. Based on extensive research and developmental work done at the author’s multi-disciplinary material laboratory, this graduate-level and professional reference addresses the relationship between fracture mechanisms (macroscale) and the microscopic, with the goal of explaining macroscopic fracture behavior based on a microscopic fracture mechanism. A careful fusion of mechanics and materials science, this text and monograph systematically considers an array of materials, from metals through ceramics and polymers, and demonstrates lab-tested strategies to develop desirable high-temperature materials for technological applications.

Download or read book The Effect of Notch Acuity on the Fracture Toughness of Silicon Carbide Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites written by C. R. Crowe and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discontinuous silicon carbide/aluminum alloy (SiC/A) metal matrix composites (MMC's) have exhibited improved physical and mechanical properties as compared to the properties of the wrought matrix alloy. These improved properties include high specific modulus, high creep strength, high fatigue resistance, low thermal expansion, and good thermal stability. The SiC/Al composites can be worked using standard metallurgical processing and hence they are inexpensive to produce compared to other MMC systems. The tensile ductility and fracture properties of the composite reported to date, however, are less than those of the wrought alloy. The tensile ductility has been improved by control of process parameters, but relatively little improvement in fracture toughness or notch sensitivity has been achieved. Although the composite materials show limited gross ductility, their fracture behavior exhibits many of the characteristics of ductile fracture. Originator supplied keywords include: Metal matrix composites, Silicon carbide/aluminum, Fracture toughness.
Download or read book Investigation of microstructural factors that cause low fracture toughness in silicon carbide whisker al alloy composites written by Franklin Edward Wawner and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program deals with determining factors that influence strength, ductility, fracture toughness, and elongation to failure in Silicon Carbon Whisker/Aluminum alloy composites. Specifically, a microstructural study is being made in an attempt to define extrinsic and intrinsic factors that control fracture and thus influence properties. One of the more important products produced by ACMC from SiCw/Al composites has been the rolled sheet. The response of the material to secondary processing and thermo-mechanical treatment is of utmost importance with respect to material quality. The present study emphasizes microstructural-mechanical property characterization of the rolled material (JES).
Download or read book Reinforced Polymer Composites written by Victor V. Tcherdyntsev and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, consisting of 21 articles, including three review papers, written by research groups of experts in the field, considers recent research on reinforced polymer composites. Most of them relate to the fiber-reinforced polymer composites, which are a real hot topic in the field. Depending on the reinforcing fiber nature, such composites are divided into synthetic and natural fiber-reinforced ones. Synthetic fibers, such as carbon, glass, or basalt, provide more stiffness, while natural fibers, such as jute, flax, bamboo, kenaf, and others, are inexpensive and biodegradable, making them environmentally friendly. To acquire the benefits of design flexibility and recycling possibilities, natural reinforcers can be hybridized with small amounts of synthetic fibers to make them more desirable for technical applications. Elaborated composites have great potential as structural materials in automotive, marine and aerospace application, as fire resistant concrete, in bridge systems, as mechanical gear pair, as biomedical materials for dentistry and orthopedic application and tissue engineering, as well as functional materials such as proton-exchange membranes, biodegradable superabsorbent resins and polymer electrolytes.

Download or read book Fracture Toughness and Fatigue Crack Propagation Determination of Metal Matrix Composite Materials written by Jacob Popp and published by . 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.
