Abstract: | The effects of reinforcement additions and heat treatment on the evolution of the Poisson ratio were determined for a 7xxx
aluminum alloy reinforced with 15 vol pct SiCp, a 2xxx alloy with 20 pct SiCp, and a 2014 alloy with 15 pct A12O3. The Poisson ratio of the monolithic alloy was 0.31 to 0.32 in the elastic regime. At the onset of the plastic regime, the
Poisson ratio of the monolithic materials rose rapidly to about 0.45 and then gradually increased to 0.47 by 3.5 pct strain.
For discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) materials, the Poisson ratio in the elastic regime was considerably lower than
that exhibited by the matrix alloy, while the magnitude of the difference was dependent upon the type, volume fraction, and
elastic properties of the reinforcement. In addition, th evolution of the Poisson ratio for DRA material depends upon heat
treatment and level of strain due to damage evolution(e.g., SiCp cracking, matrix failure,etc.) which accompanies straining in these materials. Both the magnitude and extent of change in the Poisson ratio with increasing
strain in the composite is rationalized by the accumulation of damage which accompanies increasing strain. |
