Metal Matrix Mechanisms and Properties includes sections on strengthening mechanisms, mechanical properties, fracture and fatigue, physical properties, and environmental effects.**Its companion volume, Metal Matrix Processing and Interfaces contains an introductory chapter that places the current state of the composites field in historical perspective. An extensive section on synthesis and processing describes in detail both standard and novel fabrication techniques. Composite interfaces are discussed in this volume's final chapter.**These two volumes combine to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of metal matrix composites (MMCs).Represents the first attempt to gather, distill, and summarize available information on metal matrix composites**Comprises, in two volumes, state-of-the-art information on MMC processing, properties, and mechanisms**Discusses current issues and trends and provides a historical background to the field of composites**Includes detailed bibliographic data on selected topics**Presents information in a format that will be useful to the student and the researcher
