Mechanical behavior and fatigue damage of a titanium matrix composite reinforced with continuous SiC fibers

Creep-fatigue and cyclically enhanced creep mechanisms in aluminium based metal matrix composites

“…The effects of pure thermal fatigue with constant off-axis mechanical load (Chen and Ponter, 2005;Giugliano et al, 2017;Giugliano and Chen, 2016;Jansson et al, 1994;Jansson and Leckie, 1992;Ponter and Leckie, 1998a, b) and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) with hold time (Barbera et al, 2016a;Bettge et al, 2007;Halford et al, 2000;Hertz-Clemens et al, 2002;Mirdamadi and Johnson, 1996;Mondali et al, 2005;Nicholas et al, 1996;Rutecka et al,…”

Fatigue Behavior and Lifetime Prediction of Unidirectionally Wire Reinforced Lightweight Metal Matrix Composites

“…Some basic investigations about the fatigue behavior of continuous fiber reinforced light metals have been done by Baker, [7] Moser et al, [8] and Bettge et al [9] on silica and steel fiber [7] as well as on alumina fiber [8] reinforced aluminum and aluminum alloys, whereas ref. [9] focussed on silicon carbide reinforced titanium.…”

SiC fibers with controllable thickness of carbon layer prepared directly by preceramic polymer pyrolysis routes

“…There is a continuous interest in silicon carbide (SiC) fibers pyrolyzed from preceramic polycarbosilane (PCS) that can be widely applied as the refractory reinforcements for plastic-matrix composites (PMCs) [1], metal-matrix composites (MMCs) [2,3] and ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) [4,5]. This is mainly because of their excellent fracture strength, stiffness and high temperature resistivity in oxidizing atmosphere.…”
