Abstract

Aluminium (Al)-based metal matrix composites have their own applications in automotive components, aerospace structure and many other structural applications because of their low density, good plasticity, high strength, good machinability, excellent resistance to corrosion and sensible thermal and electrical conduction, etc. Many of those applications need higher fracture toughness that is the ability to resist failure because of crack propagation. Fracture properties of composites are essential in assessing the flaw tolerance of the structures. The Characteristics of base metal and the reinforcing materials play an important role in dominant the toughness of composites. The various reinforcements utilized in the processing of metallic-based composites are Silicon Carbide, Aluminium Oxide, Titanium carbide, titanium dioxide and Boron Carbide, etc. Mechanical properties of metal-based composites are greatly affected by the properties of matrix and reinforcement materials, their geometry, composition and also the technique of process these composites. The present paper reviews the early investigation methods and recent methods and practices followed to gauge fracture mechanics parameters like stress intensity factor, J-integral, crack tip opening displacement, etc., for aluminium alloys and aluminium-based composite materials.
