Load Sharing in MMCs can also be<br />

Measured by <strong>Neutron</strong> Diffraction<br />

• Initial co-deformation results<br />

from confinement of W fibers<br />

by the Kanthal matrix<br />

• Change of slope (125 MPa) is<br />

the typical load sharing<br />

behavior of MMCs:<br />

– Kanthal yields and ceases <strong>to</strong> bear<br />

further load<br />

Applied stress [MPa]<br />

– Tungsten fibers reinforce and<br />

strengthen the composite<br />
