• What are the advantages of using composite
materials?
• How do we predict the stiffness and strength of the
various types of composites?
Chapter 16 - 1
Composite
Chapter 16 - 2
Composite
• Combination of two or more individual distinct
materials phases into one engineering
material
• Design goal: obtain a more desirable
combination of properties (principle of
combined action)
– e.g., low density and high strength
Chapter 16 - 3
Terminology/Classification
• Composite:
-- Multiphase material that is artificially made.
-- two components : Marix & Reinforcement
• Phase types:
-- Matrix ; continuous
→ protects reinforcement
→ environmental tolerance
Adapted from Fig. 16.1(a),
Callister & Rethwisch 8e.
-- Dispersed(reinforcement)
→ discontinuous and surrounded by matrix
→ supports structural load
Chapter 16 - 4
Terminology/Classification
• Matrix phase:
woven
fibers
-- Purposes are to:
- transfer stress to dispersed phase
- protect dispersed phase from
environment
-- Types:
0.5 mm
MMC, CMC, PMC
metal

polymer
• Dispersed phase:
cross
section
view
-- Purpose:
MMC: increase y, TS, creep resist.
CMC: increase fracture toughness
PMC: increase E, y, TS, creep resist.
-- Types: particle, fiber, structural

Classification: Particle-Reinforced (ii)
Particle-reinforced
Fiber-reinforced
Structural
Concrete – gravel + sand + cement + water
- Why sand and gravel? Sand fills voids between gravel particles
Reinforced concrete – Reinforce with steel rebar or remesh
- increases strength - even if cement matrix is cracked
Prestressed concrete
- Rebar/remesh placed under tension during setting of concrete
- Release of tension after setting places concrete in a state of compression
- To fracture concrete, applied tensile stress must exceed this
compressive stress
Posttensioning – tighten nuts to place concrete under compression
threaded
rod
nut

Classification: Fiber-Reinforced (i)
Particle-reinforced
Fiber-reinforced
Structural
• Fibers very strong in tension
– Provide significant strength improvement to the
composite
– Ex: fiber-glass - continuous glass filaments in a
polymer matrix
• Glass fibers
– strength and stiffness
• Polymer matrix
– holds fibers in place
– protects fiber surfaces
– transfers load to fibers
Chapter 16 - 10
Classification: Fiber-Reinforced (i)
Particle-reinforced
Fiber-reinforced
Structural
Ex. Brittle fiber + ductile matrix
- Stage I : both fibers and matrix deform
elastically; linear
- Stage II : the matrix yields and deforms
plastically (εym) while the fibers continue
to stretch elastically.
- Failure : fibers start to fracture ;
→ not all fibers fracture at the same time
→ Even after the failure, the matrix is still
intact ; the fractured fibers are still embedded
within the intact matrix and sustain a
diminished load as the matrix continues to
plastically deform.

Particle-reinforced
Fiber-reinforced
Structural
• Fiber Types
– Whiskers - thin single crystals - large length to diameter ratios
• graphite, silicon nitride, silicon carbide
• high crystal perfection – extremely strong, strongest known
• very expensive and difficult to disperse
– Fibers
• polycrystalline or amorphous
• generally polymers or ceramics
• Ex: alumina, aramid, E-glass, boron, UHMWPE
– Wires
• metals – steel, molybdenum, tungsten

Particle-reinforced
Fiber-reinforced
Structural
• Critical fiber length for effective stiffening & strengthening:
ex: For fiberglass, common fiber length > 15 mm needed
• For longer fibers, stress transference from matrix is more efficient
Short, thick fibers:
Low fiber efficiency
Long, thin fibers:
High fiber efficiency

Composite Production Methods (i)
Pultrusion
•
•
•
Continuous fibers pulled through resin tank to impregnate fibers with
thermosetting resin
Impregnated fibers pass through steel die that preforms to the desired shape
Preformed stock passes through a curing die that is
– precision machined to impart final shape
– heated to initiate curing of the resin matrix
Fig. 16.13, Callister & Rethwisch 8e.
Chapter 16 -
Composite Production Methods (ii)
• Filament Winding
– Fibers are fed through a resin bath to impregnate with thermosetting resin
– Impregnated fibers are continuously wound (typically automatically) onto a
mandrel
– After appropriate number of layers added, curing is carried out either in an
oven or at room temperature
– The mandrel is removed to give the final product
Adapted from Fig. 16.15, Callister & Rethwisch 8e.

Chapter 16 -
Composite Production Methods (iii)
• Prepreg Production Process
– Continuous-fiber reinforcement preimpregnated with a polymer resin
that is only partially cured.
– delivered in tape form to the manufacturer, which then directly molds
and fully cures the product without having to add any resin
– The most widely used for structural applications
Chapter 16 -
Preimpregnated Tape (Prepreg)
Fibers are introduced into resin in continuous resin
impregnation process – rolled up on paper backing –
ready for component manufacturing
