The mechanical properties and microstructures of aluminum-matrix composites fabricated by the dispersion of fine alumina particles less than $20{\mu}m$ in size into 6061 aluminum alloys are investigated in this study. In the as-quenched state, the yield stress of the composite is 40~85 MPa higher than that of the 6061 alloy. This difference is attributed to the high density of dislocations within the matrix introduced due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficients between the matrix and the reinforcement. The difference in the yield stress between the composite and the 6061 alloy decreases with the aging time and the age-hardening curves of both materials show a similar trend. At room temperature, the strain-hardening rate of the composite is higher than that of the 6061 alloy, most likely because the distribution of reinforcements enhances the dislocation density during deformation. Both the yield stress and the strain-hardening rate of the T6-treated composite decrease as the testing temperature increases, and the rate of decrease is faster in the composite than in the 6061 alloy. Under creep conditions, the stress exponents of the T6-treated composite vary from 8.3 at 473 K to 4.8 at 623 K. These exponents are larger than those of the 6061 matrix alloy.

가시광선 중합형의 치아수복용 고분자 복합체(polymeric dental restorative composites, PDRC)에 있어서 여러 종류의 3급 아민계 광증감제가 PDRC의 치과적 물성에 미치는 영향을 기계적 물성과 심미적 특성을 분석한 후 고찰하였다. PDRC 제조에 사용한 barium silicate 필러는 아크릴계 resin matrix와의 혼화성 증가를 위해 표면을 소수성으로 처리하여 사용하였다. 광중합에 필요한 광개시제로는 resin matrix를 기준으로 camphorquinone을 0.5 wt%로 하여 사용하였다. 그 결과, 제조된 PDRC의 기계적 물성과 심미적 특성은 사용한 광증감제의 함량보다는 화학적 구조에의 의존성이 더 큼을 알 수 있었다.

취성기지 복합재료는 섬유와 기지 사이에 계면분리가 존재하는 경우가 있는데 이것은 복합재료의 강도와 강성저하의 원인이 된다. 계면분리와 섬유체적비가 복합재료의 기계적 물성치에 미치는 영향에 대만 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 우선 몇 가지 가정하에 복합재료를 구성하는 섬유와 기지에 대하여 간단하게 모델링하고 이웃하는 대표체적요소의 경계를 따라 응력과 변위 연속조건을 부과하였다. 강성상수들을 역변환하여 복합재료의 유효물성치를 구하였다. 완전접착의 경우 수치해를 혼합물법칙에 의한 이론해와 비교한 결과 일치함을 알 수 있었고 계면분리가 큰 경우 섬유체적비가 증가하더라도 물성치가 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

Any rational approach to define the configuration and size of viscous fluid dampers in a structure should be based on the dynamic properties of the system with the dampers. In this paper we propose an alternative representation of the complex eigenvalues of multi degree of freedom systems with dampers to calculate new equivalent natural frequencies. Analytical expressions for the dynamic properties of a two-story building model with a linear viscous damper in the first floor (i.e. with a non-proportional damping matrix) are derived. The formulas permit to obtain the equivalent damping ratios and equivalent natural frequencies for all the modes as a function of the mass, stiffness and damping coefficient for underdamped and overdamped systems. It is shown that the commonly used formula to define the equivalent natural frequency is not applicable for this type of system and for others where the damping matrix is not proportional to the mass matrix, stiffness matrix or both. Moreover, the new expressions for the equivalent natural frequencies expose a novel phenomenon; the use of viscous fluid dampers can modify the vibration frequencies of the structure. The significance of the new equivalent natural frequencies is expounded by means of a simulated free vibration test. The proposed approach may offer a new perspective to study the effect of viscous dampers on the dynamic properties of a structure.

In the present study, a Zr-based amorphous alloy matrix composite reinforced with tungsten porous foam was fabricated without pores or defects by liquid pressing process, and its microstructures and mechanical properties were investigated. About 69 vol.% of tungsten foam was homogeneously distributed inside the amorphous matrix, although the matrix of the composite contained a small amount of crystalline phases. The compressive test results indicate that the composite was not fractured at one time after reaching the maximum compressive strength, but showed considerable plastic strain as the compressive load was sustained by tungsten foam. The tungsten foam greatly improved the strength (2764 MPa) and ductility (39.4%) of the composite by homogeneously dispersing the stress applied to the matrix. This was because the tungsten foam and matrix were simultaneously deformed without showing anisotropic deformation due to the excellent bonding of tungsten/matrix interfaces. These findings suggest that the liquid pressing process is useful for the development of amorphous matrix composites with improved strength and ductility.

A matrix $P{\in}\mathbb{C}^{n{\times}n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $P^*$ = P and $P^2$ = I. An $n{\times}n$ complex matrix A is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix P if A = PAP (A = -PAP). It is well-known that the reflexive and anti-reflexive matrices with respect to the generalized reflection matrix P have many special properties and widely used in engineering and scientific computations. In this paper, we give new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the reflexive (anti-reflexive) solutions to the linear matrix equation AXB + CY D = E and derive representation of the general reflexive (anti-reflexive) solutions to this matrix equation. By using the obtained results, we investigate the reflexive (anti-reflexive) solutions of some special cases of this matrix equation.

The thermal stability and elevated temperature mechanical properties of $SiC_P$/Al-11.7Fe-1.3V-1.7Si (Al-11.7Fe-1.3V-1.7Si reinforced with SiC particulates) composites sheets prepared by spray deposition (SD) $\rightarrow$ hot pressing $\rightarrow$ rolling process were investigated. The experimental results showed that the composite possessed high ${\sigma}_b$ (elevated temperature tensile strength), for instance, ${\sigma}_b$ was 315.8 MPa, which was tested at $315^{\circ}C$, meanwhile the figure was 232.6 MPa tested at $400^{\circ}C$, and the elongations were 2.5% and 1.4%, respectively. Furthermore, the composite sheets exhibited excellent thermal stability: the hardness showed no significant decline after annealing at $550^{\circ}C$ for 200 h or at $600^{\circ}C$ for 10 h. The good elevated temperature mechanical properties and excellent thermal stability should mainly be attributed to the formation of spherical ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersed phase particulates in the aluminum matrix. Furthermore, the addition of SiC particles into the alloy is another important factor, which the following properties are responsible for. The resultant Si of the reaction between Al matrix and SiC particles diffused into Al matrix can stabilize ${\alpha}-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersed phase; in addition, the interface (Si layer) improved the wettability of Al/$SiC_P$, hence, elevated the bonding between them. Furthermore, the fine $Al_4C_3$ phase also strengthened the matrix as a dispersion-strengthened phase. Meanwhile, load is transferred from Al matrix to SiC particles, which increased the cooling rate of the melt droplets and improved the solution strengthening and dispersion strengthening.

Metal matrix composites(MMCs) have been rapidly becoming one of the strongest candidates for structural materials fur many high temperature application. However, among the various high temperature environments in which metal matrix composites was applied, thermal shock is known to cause significant degradation in most MMC system. Due to the appreciable difference in coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) between reinforcement and metal matrix, internal stresses are generated following temperature changes. Infernal stresses affect degradation of mechanical properties of MMC by causing microscopic damage in interface and matrix during thermal cycling. Therefore, the nondestructive evaluation on thermal shock damage behavior of SiC/A16061 composite has been carried out using ultrasonics. For this study, SiC fiber reinforced metal matrix composite specimens fabricated by a squeeze casting technique were thermally cycled in the temperature range 298$\~$673 K up to 1000cyc1es. Three point bending test was conducted to investigate the efffct of thermal shock damage on mechanical properties. The relationship between thermal shock damage behavior and the propagation characteristics of surface wave and SH-ultrasonic wave was discussed by considering the result of SEM observation of fracture surface.

It is well known that distribution of functions of eigen values and vectors of a certain matrix plays an important role in multivariate analysis. This paper deals with the transformation of a correlation-type random matrix to its eigen values and vectors. Properties of the transformation are also considered. The results obtained are applied to express the joint distribution of eigen values and vectors of the correlation matrix when sample is taken from a m-variate spherical distribution.
