Abstract

In this study, by using coating layers to reduce thermal stresses in the metal matrix composites with a mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansions of fiber and matrix is investigated. The thermoelastic solutions based on a three cylinder model are deformed. It is shown that the effectiveness of the layer can be defined by the product of its cofficients of thermal expansions and thickness and that a compensating layer with a sufficiently high coefficient of thermal expansions can reduce the thermal stresses in the metal matrix. . In order to verify the results were compared with the finite element method. In this solution, 224 nodes and 44 nine-node isoparametric elements are used. The study is based on a three cylinder model isolating one steel fiber with a coating layer and a aluminum matrix layer. Only monotonic cooling is studied and the variation of the material properties with temperatures is not considered. The results have been presented in graphics.
