Effects of particulate reinforcement and strain‐rates on deformation and fracture behavior of Aluminum 6061‐T6 under high velocity impact

Abstract Aluminum matrix composites (AMC) exhibit an attractive combination of mechanical and physical properties such as high stiffness and low density, which favors their utilization in many structural applications. Thus, increasing the structural applications of AMC is the driving force for the need to adequately understand their deformation and failure mechanisms under various types of loading conditions. In this study, plastic deformation …
