Abstract:The global and local deformation characteristics of center-notched unidirectional B/Al composites were examined both in the elastic and inelastic regions of the load-displacement curves. The global deformation was measured at room temperature by applying the conventional compliance gage, while the local deformation was measured by means of the interferometric displacement gage (IDG) technique at room and elevated temperatures. The effects of notch length and test temperature on the deformation characteristics … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
