Einfluß verschiedener thermomechanischer Belastungen auf das Schädigungsverhalten faserverstärkten Aluminiums

Under cyclic thernomechanical loading fatigue of metal matrix composites is strongly affected by the phasing between the mechanical and the thermal load. Therefore the current study focusing on an Al/SiC-composite aims at numerically analysing the influence of different thermomechanical loadings on the inelastic matrix deformation and damage. Thereby the non linear finite element method (FEM) which is applied here allows a good access to the problem.
