TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent advances in understanding the mechanical behavior of metallic glasses, with particular emphasis on the deformation and fracture mechanisms, is presented, where the role of glass structure on mechanical properties, and conversely, the effect of deformation upon glass structure, are also described.

TL;DR: An analytical model for predicting the yield strength of particulate-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites has been developed in this article, where the strengthening effects involving Orowan strengthening effect, enhanced dislocation density due to the residual plastic strain caused by the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion between the matrix and particles, and loadbearing effect have been taken into account in the model.

TL;DR: Aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) refer to the class of light-weight high performance aluminium centric material systems as mentioned in this paper, which can be tailored to the demands of different industrial applications by suitable combinations of matrix, reinforcement and processing route.
Abstract: Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) refer to the class of light weight high performance aluminium centric material systems. The reinforcement in AMCs could be in the form of continuous/discontinuous fibres, whisker or particulates, in volume fractions ranging from a few percent to 70%. Properties of AMCs can be tailored to the demands of different industrial applications by suitable combinations of matrix, reinforcement and processing route. Presently several grades of AMCs are manufactured by different routes. Three decades of intensive research have provided a wealth of new scientific knowledge on the intrinsic and extrinsic effects of ceramic reinforcement vis-a-vis physical, mechanical, thermo-mechanical and tribological properties of AMCs. In the last few years, AMCs have been utilised in high-tech structural and functional applications including aerospace, defence, automotive, and thermal management areas, as well as in sports and recreation. It is interesting to note that research on particle-reinforced cast AMCs took root in India during the 70’s, attained industrial maturity in the developed world nd is currently in the process of joining the mainstream of materials. This paper presents an overview of AMC material ystems on aspects relating to processing, icrostructure, roperties and applications.
