Chapter 15
Composite Materials:Another Level of theStructure-Property-Process-Performance Relationship
Learning Objectives
After careful study of this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
1. Explain the principle of combined action for developing composite materials from matrix and reinforcement materials.
2. Explain the roles of the reinforcement phases and of the matrix phases in a composite.
3. Describe the types and forms of composites by matrix material and reinforcement phase geometry, arrangement, and orientation, respectively.
4. Describe and explain the derivation of an upper bound and a lower bound on composite properties, depending on whether the reinforcement phase is continuous and aligned or discontinuous and random. ...
