Abstract
The key to controlling and predicting the properties of metal matrix composites lies in understanding and controlling the interface. When properly designed, the interface between reinforcing fibers and the matrix or protective coating can act as a mechanical fuse through a controlled delamination mechanism.Controlled delamination, in effect, results in the decoupling of fibers from early damage due to stress concentrations in the vicinity. The delamination event must precede the crack bridging and frictional pull-out mechanisms that have been so effectively demonstrated in ceramic matrix composites. The delamination event, therefore, is the necessary precondition, and so analysis of composite toughening must start with a definition of the conditions for interface debonding.This decoupling can be expressed in terms of cohesive strength of the interface, shear strength of the interface, and fiber fracture stress. In a related but alternative manner, debonding can be expressed in terms of the intrinsic work of fracture of the interface as compared to the transverse work of fracture of the fiber.
