Abstract
The most important properties of multilayer composites that are promising as structural and functional materials in view of their geometric structural characteristics are considered. A structural-geometrical classification of unidimensional composites is provided. Thermal conductivity and expansion of layered ceramic-metal composites taking account of the "inherent" thermal stresses are considered in detail, and conditions for loss of integrity at interlayer interfaces are analyzed. Special attention is devoted to the anisotropy of layered systems. Methods are described for calculating the effective values of thermophysical and elastic properties for unidimensional composites along and across layers, the upper and lower limits of properties are evaluated, and cases of deviation from additivity of these properties are analyzed. Some features are considered for failure of ceramic-metal composites with static and impact loading, and also the promising nature of their application as shock-resistant and heat-resistant high-temperature materials in structural elements that operate under extreme heat and mechanical conditions.
