Abstract
Dynamic properties and fracture of Al-W granular composites with Al matrix were experimentally investigated. Materials with different porosities and morphology of W particles (coarse and fine) and samples with W wires embedded in Al matrix with an identical weight ratio between Al and W were fabricated by Cold Isostatic Pressing. For comparison Al samples with porosity similar to granular composites were also tested. The quasi-static and Hopkinson bar compression tests were employed to measure the mechanical properties of these materials and high speed camera was used to detect fracture behavior. It was shown that fracture and dynamic properties are sensitive to porosity and morphology of W inclusions, for example, dynamic strength in composite with fine W particles can be significantly larger than strength of composite with coarse W particles at similar porosity. Highest strength was observed in composites with W wires.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
