Application of Neutron Diffraction to the Measurement of Internal Residual Strain in the Constituents of Advanced Composites

摘要

The temperature-dependent bulk residual strains in a whisker-reinforced ceramic composite, measured by neutron diffraction, were in reasonable agreement with those computed by using two different stress models. Data acquired as a function of the weight percent of whisker were also in agreement with model calculations. 12 refs., 4 figs.
