Fracture behaviour of different volume fraction of alumina (AI₂O₃) reinforcement metal matrix composite / Junaidah Jai

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are engineering materials in which a hard ceramic component is dispersed in a ductile metal matrix in order to obtain characteristics that are superior to those of the conventional monolithic metallic alloys. Due to the superior properties, MMCs are used in aerospace,...
