“…Particulate reinforced aluminum matrix composites (PRAMCs) have great prospects for high-tech applications in transport, chemical, and aerospace industries because of their low density coupled with extraordinary mechanical properties and corrosion resistance [1][2][3][4][5]. The PRAMCs can be divided into two categories.…”

In this study, Al matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced with Al/Cu core-shell particles were synthesized by hot pressing. The Al/Cu particulate reinforcements were pre-synthesized by galvanic replacement. The effect of the volume fraction of reinforcement on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of the composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), micro-hardness and compression tests. The strength of the composite becomes 2.25 times the matrix by using 20 vol.% core-shell reinforcements containing only 6 vol.% Cu. Further, with increasing volume fraction of Al/Cu reinforcement, the degree of in-situ transformation of Cu into intermetallic also increases. Consequently, a specially tailored microstructure can be obtained by controlling the volume fraction of the reinforcement and its interfacial reaction with the matrix, which can improve the mechanical strength of composites without considerably compromising on fracture strain. The findings of this work provide stronger implications for the industry to fabricate viable engineering structures.

“…From the end of World War 2 to 2020, the global demand for composite materials has only increased (Nunes 2015;Serifou et al 2020). These composite materials have been strongly involved in the development of our technologies both for sustainable construction, aviation (Das et al 2020;May et al 2020), shipbuilding (Bajakke et al 2020;Rubino et al 2020), for acoustic (Kushwaha and Bagha 2020;Marques et al 2020), for human comfort in buildings (Costa-Neves et al 2014;Granqvist et al 2018;M'ghari et al 2021), for furnishings (Ndiwe et al 2022(Ndiwe et al , 2020(Ndiwe et al , 2019 and the manufacture of medical plaster prostheses (Lu et al 2021). They stand out for their lightness, abundance, their renewability, and ease of use.…”

The fibre of Grewia bicolor bark (GB) was extracted and used as reinforcement for the development fibreboards using orthophtalique unsaturated polyester (UP) as a matrix. Two methods of extraction of fibres were used, namely biological retting and chemical extraction by a sodium hydroxide solution at a 5% concentration. Chemical, Physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics were determined using ATF FTIR, mechanical test and thermogravimetric analysis. The theoretical density of the characterized fibres was 1.30 g/ cm 3 . The porosity decreases by 5% from the root to the leaves. The SEM analysis indicated the presence of fibrils coated with a rough sheath similar to a honeycomb cell structure. The use of NaOH in the extraction method removes the hemicellulose, pectin, wax, and lignin from the fibres. The average elasticity modulus of untreated and treated fibres are, respectively, E = 35.18 ± 2.25 MPa and E = 33.47 ± 2.35 MPa and internal bond of fibreboards are 0.98 ± 0.05 MPa and 1.06 ± 0.02 MPa.

Silicon carbide foam is a material that can be used as reinforcement of interpenetrated composites. This paper presents an analysis of such a foam subjected to low and fast compression. The analysis is performed using the peridynamics (PD) method. This approach allows for an evaluation of failure modes and such effects of microcracks nucleation, their growth, and, finally, fragmentation. Furthermore, the material appears to behave qualitatively and quantitatively differently while subjected to low- and high-speed steel piston movement. Under slow compression case, damage appears in the entire specimen, but the shape of the structure is not changing significantly, whereas during the fast compression the sample is dynamically fragmented.
