Composite
Material made of two or more distinct phases
Matrix Phase
Continuos phase which surrounds the other phase.
Dispersed Phase
Discontinuous phase surrounded by the matrix phase.
Principle of Combined Action
Better property combinations are fashioned by the judicious combination of two or more materials.
PARTICLE REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Large particle composite, Dispension strengthened composites.
LARGE PARTICLE COMPOSITES
Rule of mixtures
Large Reinforced Composites
Composite in which the dispensed phase cannot be heated on the atomic level, but rather continuum mechanics must be used.
