Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of bonding mode and the setting of the
reinforcement between matrix and reinforcement for metal matrix composite on the
induced stresse and also on the value of the reinforcing A charpy specimen with
notch was used as a specimen test for comparison . Analytical model was built
via ANSYS 8.1 software with a nonlinear solution based on the elastic –plastic
behavior for both phases (matrix and reinforcement).Five miscellaneous cases for
bonding mode and the setting of the reinforcement (wire with 1 mm diameter)
were used .The results exhibit the eloquent perfect bonding on the value of
reinforcing and also the setting (semi-circle) of the reinforcement in the matrix
which gave the best reinforcing.
