20. 5. COMPOSITE MATERIALS Composite materials are mixture of two or more materials to produce a new material whose properties would not be attainable by conventional means. Structure consists of particles or fibers of one phase mixed in a second phase (matrix). The properties depend on components, physical shape of components, and the way they are combined to form the final shape. 20

21. 5. COMPOSITE MATERIALS Applications: Air-dried bricks by mixing the clay with straw, Horse hair was used to reinforce the plaster used on the walls and ceiling of buildings. Carbon fiber reinforced frames for tennis rackets and shafts for golf clubs. Racing bicycles are made from composite materials because. ` 21

22. 5. COMPOSITE MATERIALS Fibrous composites: High strength continuous or discontinuous thin fibers are encased within tough matrix. Matrix functions are to bond fibers together, to protect fibers from damage and to transmit load from one fiber to another. Glass fibers is the most common material in this category. 22

26. Mechanical Properties Malleability: ability of material to be plastically deformed by hammering or filling into sheet form. Example: Gold. Ductility: ability of material to be plastically deformed by tension before fracture occurs. Example: Wire drawing (Copper wire). Hardness: ability of material to resist scratching or penetration. Example: Glass. Brittleness: tendency to fracture without appreciable deformation particularly under low stress. Example: Glass. Fatigue: the failure of a material under the action of repeated alternating stresses. Example: Aluminum wire. 26

27. Mechanical Properties Toughness: ability of material to withstand stresses as well as deformation. Example: Steel. Elasticity: ability of material to return to its original shape after being subjected to a load that caused deformation. Example: Elastic band.
