Abstract

The tensile behaviour of composites produced by infiltrating ceramic particle beds with high purity (99.99%) At is studied as a function of reinforcement size and chemistry (Al2O3 and B4C). The yield stress is higher in composites containing B4C particles, increasing with decreasing interparticle distance in both composite systems. The flow stress of the composites, when corrected for damage, displays the same dependence on interparticle distance as the yield stress. The overall strain hardening exponent, however, is independent of the microstructural scale. These observations are rationalized based on the theory of geometrically necessary dislocations.

Composite material

A composite material (also called a composition material or shortened to composite, which is the common name) is a material which is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have notably dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. Within the finished structure, the individual elements remain separate and distinct, distinguishing composites from mixtures and solid solutions.

Yield (engineering)

In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. Once the yield point is passed, some fraction of the deformation will be permanent and non-reversible and is known as plastic deformation.

Creep (deformation)

In materials science, creep (sometimes called cold flow) is the tendency of a solid material to undergo slow deformation while subject to persistent mechanical stresses. It can occur as a result of long-term exposure to high levels of stress that are still below the yield strength of the material. Creep is more severe in materials that are subjected to heat for long periods and generally increase as they near their melting point. The rate of deformation is a function of the material's properties, exposure time, exposure temperature and the applied structural load.
