CHAPTER 16 COMPOSITES PROBLEM SOLUTIONS Large-Particle Composites 16.1 The mechanical properties of aluminum may be improved by incorporating fine particles of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Given that the moduli of elasticity of these materials are, respectively, 69 GPa (10 ( 106 psi) and 393 GPa (57 ( 106 psi), plot modulus of elasticity versus the volume percent of Al2O3 in Al from 0 to 100 vol%, using both upper- and lower-bound expressions. Solution The elastic modulus versus the volume percent of Al2O3 is shown below, on which is included both upper and lower bound curves; these curves were generated using Equations 16.1 and 16.2, respectively, and using the moduli of elasticity for aluminum and Al2O3 that were given in the problem statement.  16.2 Estimate the maximum and minimum thermal conductivity values for a cermet that contains 85 vol% titanium carbide (TiC) particles in a cobalt matrix. Assume thermal conductivities of 27 and 69 W/m-K for TiC and Co, respectively. Solution This problem asks for the maximum and minimum thermal conductivity values for a TiC-Co cermet. Using a modified form of Equation 16.1 the maximum thermal conductivity kmax is calculated as Using a modified form of Equation 16.2, the minimum thermal conductivity kmin will be = 29.7 W/m-K  16.3 A large-particle composite consisting of tungsten particles within a copper matrix is to be prepared. If the volume fractions of tungsten and copper are 0.60 and 0.40, respectively, estimate the upper limit for the specific stiffness of this composite given the data that follow. Specific Gravity Modulus of Elasticity (GPa) Copper 8.9 110 Tungsten 19.3 407 Solution Given the elastic moduli and specific gravities for copper and tungsten we are asked to estimate the upper limit for specific stiffness when the volume fractions of tungsten and copper are 0.60 and 0.40, respectively. There are two approaches that may be applied to solve this problem. The first is to estimate both
