Plastic flow and fracture of a particulate metal matrix composite
Abstract
The effects of particle volume fraction and matrix temper on the flow and fracture characteristics of a series of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites under tensile and compressive loadings have been examined. Under compressive loading, a steady-state regime is attained in which the composite flow stress is proportional to the matrix flow stress at the same level of strain. The strength enhancement associated with the particles increases …
