Section 4 plane strain conditions, a similar stress triaxiality, σ c m/σ c eq, can be assumed for all specimens in front of the crack tip. Therefore, the composite mean stress, σm c , and, consequently, the mesoscopic maximum principal stress at void initiation, σ HRR max, will be proportional to σy. As the microscopic maximum principal particle stresses lie between 150 and 200 MPa higher than the meso-scale values (Tables 9.1-9.16), a linear relation between the σ p max-values and σy can be expected as is observed in Figure 4.29. What could be the physical reason for an increase of the maximum interfacial stresses? It is plausible that this finding has to do with the presence of the spinel phase MgAl2O4 at the particle/matrix interface. A spinel phase potentially can form strong chemical bonds with both metals and ceramics [71]. It has been suggested that this spinel phase may enhance the interfacial bonding. Thus, the interface bonding may be enhanced by a longer aging time, as the percentage of the interface covered by the spinel phase increases with increasing aging time [21]. Table 4.8.

Application of Weibull distribution for fractured particles As the MMCs are reinforced by ceramic particles, a Weibull distribution can be assumed for the distributions of particle strengths. Such a distribution is often used for brittle materials [75-77]: F(σ) = 1-exp[-(σ /σ0) m ], (4.3) where F(σ) is the failure probability at the stress σ, σ0 is the characteristic stress, and m is the Weibull modulus which describes the distribution of the measured strengths. The higher the Weibull modulus, the smaller is the scatter of the strengths. The maximum principal stresses of the particles at the moment of void initiation are taken as σ. In Figures 4.30a and 4.31a, Weibull diagrams for alumina particles in the cast MMC with 10% of the Al2O3 particles and for SiC particles in some specimens of the PM-MMC are given. As seen, the Weibull modulus lies in the range 16..21 for Al2O3 and 9…10 for SiC particles. The high scatter of the Weibull modulus for the alumina particles can be explained by the small number of particles which has been available. As was shown in [75], the uncertainties of the calculated parameter strongly depend on the sample size, N. The uncertainties can be very high in the case of small sample size. For instance, the 95% confidence interval for the determined Weibull modulus m can lie for N = 10 between 70% and 230% of the real modulus. The accuracy of determination of m can be increased through increase of number of specimens (in our case, particles). Indeed, if all analysed Al2O3 particles are taken from all cast specimens (Fig. 4.30b), one gets the Weibull modulus m = 9, which is in a good accordance with experimentally determined values for Al2O3 [77].
