Fatigue strength of NiAl and Ni$_3$Al particulate reinforced aluminum alloy composites fabricated by the diecasting method was examined at room and elevated temperatures. The results were compared wit h that of SiC particulate reinforced one. The particulate reinforced composites showed some improvement in the static and fatigue strength at elevated temperatures when compared with that of Al alloy. The composites reinforced by intermetallic compound particles showed good fatigue strengths at elevated temperatures especially $Ni_3AI_{p}/Al$ alloy composite showed good fatigue limit up to high temperature of 30$0^{\circ}C$. Adopting intermetallic compound particle as a reinforcement phase, it will be possible to develop MMC representing better fatigue property at elevated temperature.

A fractal analysis on fracture surface of aluminium-particulate SiC composites was attempted. As the volume fraction of SiC in composites increases, the fractal dimension tends to increase. However, no correlation between the fractal dimension and the fracture toughness in terms of critical energy release rate was observed. Since the fractal dimension represents the roughness of fracture surface, the fracture toughness would be a function of not only fracture surface roughness but also additional parameters. Thus the applicability of fractal analysis to the estimation of fracture toughness must depend on the proper choice and interpretation of additioal paramerters. In this paper, the size of characteristic strctural unit for fracture was considered as an additional parameter. As a result, the size appeared to be a function of only volume fraction of SiC. Finally, a master curve for fracture toughness of aluminium-particulate SiC composites was proposed as a function of fractal dimension and volume fraction of SiC.

Two physical experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of beam-particle model for simulating the progressive failure of particulate composites such as sandstone and concrete. In the numerical model, the material is schematized at the meso-level as an assembly of discrete, interacting particles which are linked through a network of brittle breaking beams. The uniaxial compressive tests of cubic and parallelepipedal specimens made of carbon steel rod assembly which are glued together by a mixture are represented. The crack patterns and load-displacement response observed in the experiments are in good agreement with the numerical results. In the application respect of beam-particle model to the particulate composites, the influence of defects, particle arrangement and boundary conditions on crack propagation is approached, and the correlation existing between the cracking evolution and the level of loads imposed on the specimen is characterized by fractal dimensions.

입자 복합재료는 입자의 형상, 크기 그리고 분포의 산포특성으로 인해 물성치의 편차가 존재하고, 입자 복합재료를 사용한 시스템의 거동 또한 산포가 존재한다. 하지만 입자의 산포특성을 고려하기 어려우므로 균질화법을 사용하여 시스템의 거동을 해석하거나 국부영역에서 미세구조를 적용하여 해석한다. 본 연구에서는 입자의 랜덤적 산포특성을 고려하기 위해 RMDFs(random morphology description functions)를 사용하여 랜덤 미세구조를 생성하였고, 단면 1차 모멘트를 사용하여 가우시안 함수의 수(N)와 입자의 산포특성의 관계를 분석하였다. 그리고 랜덤 미세구조 구조물의 거동을 분석하기 위하여 랜덤 미세구조를 전체에 반영한 외팔보에 multi-scale 해석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 입자의 산포특성과 외팔보의 처짐의 편차는 N의 증가에 따라 감소하고 N=200에서 수렴하는 것을 확인하였다.

TiC particulate reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by melt stirring method. The effect of alloying elements on TiC particulate dispersion into molten magnesium and mechanical properties were investigated. The incorporation time is defined as the time required for dispersion of solid particles into molten metal. The incorporation time of TiC particles into molten pure magnesium was remarkably shorter and the particulated dispersion was more uniform than that of pure aluminum which was reported previously. The incorporation time was, prolonged by the addition of Al, Bi, Ca, Ce, Pb, Sn or Zn. The tensile strength increased and elongation decreased by the addition of Cu or Sn into the matrices and composites. Although, the tensile strength of the matrices and composites increased by alloying with Ca or Ce, the maximum elongation was observed at a content of about 1% for the matrices. By alloying with Zn, the tensile strength increased for the matrices and composites, but the elongation of the matrices increased. The pure magnesium and its alloy matrix composites reinforced with 20vol% TiC have the tensile strength of about 400MPa. This value is compared with the tensile strength of SiC whisker reinforced magnesium matrix composites fabricated by liquid infiltration method at the same volume fraction. There fore, the melt strirring method which has the advantages of simple process is considered to be efficient in fabricating magnesium matrix composites.

In this paper, two major theories of effective medium for composite materials are studied, which provide the average dynamic mechanical properties of particulate composites carrying elastic waves on the basis of the concept of self-consistent scattering of waves. These two theories are also compared in detail with each other to delineate the difference in the underlying ideas and their limitation of applicability. Furthermore, prospective directions for potential improvement of the theories are found. Numerical results for three particulate composites are given and discussed.

The particulate strengthened $Cu-MoSi_2$ composites were prepared by a PM process to develop novel copper based composites with reasonable strength, high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion coefficient. Microstructure of the composites was investigated by SEM; the tensile strength, elongation, thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of the composites were examined. A comparative analysis of mechanical and thermal properties of various Cu-matrix composites currently in use was given and the strengthening mechanisms for the $Cu-MoSi_2$ composites were discussed.

This work is to fabricate a precise optical fiber array using polymer composite for optical interconnection. Optical fiber array has to satisfy low optical loss requirement less than 0.4 dB according to temperature change. For this purpose, design criteria for an optical fiber array was derived. The coefficient of thermal expansion of silica particulate epoxy composites was affected by volume fraction of silica particles. And also, elastic modulus of silica particulate epoxy composites was affected by volume fraction of silica particles. To obtain the coefficients of thermal expansion below $10{\times}10E-6/^{\circ}C$ and elastic modulus more than 20 GPa , we chose the volume fraction more than 76%. Using silica particulate epoxy composites with the volume fraction 76%, 8-channel optical fiber array with dimensional tolerances below $1\;{\mu}m$ was manufactured by transfer molding technique using dies with the uniquely-designed core pin and precisely-machined zirconia ceramic V block. These optical fiber arrays showed optical loss variations within 0.4 dB under thermal cycling test and high temperature test.

입자 보강 복합재료의 부피분율을 평가하기 위한 초음파 비파괴 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 방법은 복합재의 미시구조를 설명할 수 있는 이론 모델과 초음파의 속도 측정을 필요로 한다. 측정한 속도를 이론예측값과 같게 두면 미지의 입자 부피분율이 계산된다. Mori-Tanaka 방법에 기초한 탄성계수 해석 모델이 소개되어 있다. 이러한 접근 방법을 SiC 입자 보강 Al 기지 ($SiC_p/Al$) 복합재에 적용하였다. 이 방법으로 보강재의 부피분율을 비교적 정확하게 결정할 수 있었다. 또한 금속간 화합물이 부피분율 평가에 미치는 영향을 논하였다. 이 방법은 입자 보강 금속기지 복합재의 생산현장에서 복합재의 품질 평가를 위하여 적용될 수 있다.
