Composites - Definition
Composite materials, are a combination of two or more materials that are different in chemical composition. The materials are blended to create a material with superior structure and better properties than the constituent materials.
COMPOSITES - DEFINITION
Composite
materials, are a combination of two or more materials that are different in
chemical composition. The materials are blended to create
a material with superior structure and better properties than the constituent
materials.
Composite
materials can be a combination of various materials, such as plastics, metals,
fibers or ceramics.
However,
the properties of a composite material depend on the properties, structure, and
proportion of the constituent materials. Figure 4.1 shows how two different
materials combine materials to form a composite material.
Composites
usually consist of two parts, the matrix and the reinforcements. The matrix holds the reinforcements, transfers the
load to the reinforcements, and protects them from mechanical and environmental
damage. The reinforcements carry most of the load and provide stiffness.
Some
composite materials exhibit better properties than the constituent materials,
such as metals or plastics. Therefore, composite materials are preferred over
other materials in applications such as aircraft manufacturing, space vehicles,
electronics and sporting goods.
