Analysis of anisotropy in elastic constants of SiC{sub p}/2124 Al metal matrix composites

Journal Article · · Scripta Materialia

The present study has attempted to investigate the effect of microstructural parameters on the elastic moduli of SiC particle reinforced 2124 Al matrix composites. Nine elastic-stiffness constants of SiC{sub p}/2124 Al composites have been determined by the RUS measurement method. At the same time, the initial estimates of elastic constants for RUS have been obtained using the Mori-Tanaka theory considering the effective aspect ratio of the SiC particles. The effects of particle size and the volume fraction of SiC particulate reinforcement on the elastic properties of the SiC{sub p}/2124 Al composites have been discussed.
