Document Summary
Name the three main divisions of composite materials and cite the distinguishing feature of each. Side note: principle of combined action- better property combinations are fashioned by the judicious combination of two or more distinct materials. Whereas the matrix bears the major portion of an applied load, the small dispersed particles hinder or impede the motion of dislocations: thus, plastic deformation is restricted such that yield and tensile strengths, as well as hardness, improve. Chapter 16 - composites: distinguish the three different types of fiber-reinforced composites on the basis of fiber length and orientation; comment on the distinctive mechanical characteristics for each type. Mechanical responses of this type depend on several factors: stress- strain behaviors of fiber and matrix phases, the phase volume fractions, and the direction in which the stress of load is applied. Stress-strain behavior for the situation wherein the stress is applied along the direction of alignment, the longitudinal direction, indicated (right).
