Abstract

The temporal variation of thermal stresses in the two phases of Al/SiC metal matrix composites was investigated. In this context, the internal strains within both particulate and whisker systems were studied over extended periods of time and over a range of temperatures, and the results compared with possible mechanisms of stress relief.
