Abstract

In order to make use of the available strength of strong fibres, the metal matrix of a composite will have to undergo plastic deformation. The effect that this will have on the fatigue behaviour and damping capacity is discussed, with reference to aluminium reinforced with silica fibres and with stainless steel wires.
