Description
This volume contains sections on strengthening mechanisms, mechanical properties, fracture and fatigue, physical properties, and environmental effects. Its companion volume, "Metal Matrix Composites: Processing and Interfaces" contains an introductory chapter placing the current state of the composites field in an historical perspective, with an extensive section on synthesis and processing of both standard and novel fabrication techniques. This volume discusses composite interfaces in its final chapter. Together, the two volumes combine to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of metal matrix composites.
