Journal ArticleDOI
Residual stresses and their effects on deformation
L. C. Davis,John E. Allison +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the residual stresses induced by thermal expansion mismatch in metal-matrix composites are studied by three-dimensional (3-D) elastic-plastic finite element analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and strengthening of metal matrix composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of composite microstructure (e.g., particle size and volume fraction) on the mechanical properties of 2080 Al matrix composites with SiC particulates are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interactive role of inclusions and SiC reinforcement on the high-cycle fatigue resistance of particle reinforced metal matrix composites
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of intermetallic inclusions on the fatigue crack initiation and growth in 2080 Al alloy and 2080/SiC/20676 p fixme composites was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Third-order bounds on the elastic moduli of metal-matrix composites
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for the technologically important metal-matrix composites (A1/SiCp), sufficiently accurate results can be obtained over the useful composition range by considering third-order bounds on the bulk and shear moduli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micromechanics effects in creep of metal-matrix composites
L. C. Davis,John E. Allison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of matrix plasticity and residual stresses on the creep of metal-matrix composites are analyzed by finite element techniques, and the steady-state rate is independent of the particle elastic moduli and the matrix elastic and plastic properties, while the ratio of composite to matrix steady state rates depends only on the volume fraction and geometry of the reinforcing phase.
