DEPENDENCE BETWEEN THE HARDNESS OF A COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND THE MODE OF THE FORCE APPLICATION

Abstract

Composite materials are made up of several components called constituents. It can contains at least two components, one of which has the role of matrix, the other, embedded in the first, having different shapes and sizes, has the role of reinforcement, with well-defined separation areas. Combining these components give rise to a new material whose properties and behavior are superior then the properties of the materials taken separately.
