The Processing and Mechanical Properties of High Temperature/High Performance Composites. Book 4, Section 3: Flow and Creep Strength

Abstract

Substantial activity has been initiated to examine creep strength and ductility during both plastic flow and creep in the presence of reinforcements. The variables of principal interest are the reinforcement aspect ratio and size, as well as their fracture/debond resistance. Papers include: Flow strength and ductility of an aluminum alloy reinforced with SiC particulates; Aspects of the high temperature performance of ceramics and ceramic composites; Brittle-to- ductile transition in silicon carbide; Mechanical properties of particulate- reinforced aluminum-matrix composites; Combined Mode I - Mode III fracture toughness of alumina particulate-reinforced aluminum alloy-matrix composites; Numerical study of high temperature creep deformation in metal-matrix composites; Plastic flow in ductile materials containing a cubic array of rigid spheres; Influence of pressure on damage evolution and fracture in metal-matrix composites; Fracture mechanism maps in stress space.
