With properties lying between those of metals and ceramics, intermetallic compounds are
particularly attractive for high temperature structural applications. Considerable progress …

Although the concept of using fibre reinforcements to strengthen and stiffen metals is not
very new, systematic development of fibre reinforced metals, or metal matrix composites …

The statistical aspects of the failure of large 3-D unidirectional fiber reinforced composites
are studied numerically and analytically. A 3-D lattice Green's function model is used to …

The uniaxial deformation properties of an alumina/aluminum composite where both phases
are continuous have been studied both experimentally and analytically using the Finite …

The mechanical properties of NiAl-matrix composites reinforced with 125-μm diameter
single-crystal A1 2 O 3 (sapphire) fibers have been examined over the temperature range of …

The properties of SiC-fibre reinforced Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-IMI834 alloys processed by fibre
coating with matrix and hot isostatic pressing are discussed. A variable fibre volume fraction …

The attributes of an orthorhombic Ti aluminide alloy, Ti-21Al-22Nb (at. pct), and an alpha-
two Ti aluminide alloy, Ti-24Al-11Nb (at. pct), for use as a matrix with continuous SiC (SCS …

A series of TiB 2-reinforced near-γ titanium aluminide (Ti-Al) matrix composites have been
produced in investment-cast form and characterized with respect to microstructure and …

The detailed microstructure of the SiC fiber surface and the outermost coating of SiC (SCS-
6) fiber are observed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution …

The mechanical properties of composites are significantly influenced by the properties of the
fiber/matrix interface. From a fundamental as well as an interface development standpoint it …
