A study of the high strain rate behaviour of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites

This thesis presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of the high strain rate behaviour of ceramic particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMC). Two MMC systems, both based on the 6061-T6 aluminum matrix, were selected. The first is an alumina reinforced system, made by a liq...
