“Assessment of Metal Matrix Composites for Innovations” — intermediate report of a European Thematic Network
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The Thematic Network “Assessment of Metal Matrix Composites for Innovations” (acronym MMC-ASSESS) is a consortium of 21 partners from industry, research organisations and universities involved in research, development and application of metal matrix composites (MMC). The general goal of the project is to increase market acceptance of MMC by collecting and evaluating information related to the engineering potential of these materials. The working groups of the network are referring to production, characterisation and properties as well as modelling and applications of MMC. These topics are considered as well specifically for the four categories of MMC: particulate, short fibre and whisker, continuous fibre, and monofilament reinforced metals. A web page has been established ( http://mmc-assess.tuwien.ac.at/ ) as an ongoing dissemination activity. An intermediate report on the network's activities is presented, which started in October 1998 by funding of the European Commission for a 36 months period.
