Micromechanics of High Strength,Low Density,Boron Filament Reinforced Aluminum Metallic Composites,Part I.

摘要

To obtain a more detailed knowledge of the distribution of stresses and the transfer of loads in a continuous-filament-reinforced metal matrix and,in particular,to assess the role of residual stresses for such a material. Of particular significance is the demonstration that the high modulus values expected of boron-reinforced aluminum composites have been achieved. In addition,data presented exhibit rather remarkable strength retention for these composites for temperatures of the order of 900to 1000F. (Author)
