Multiscale Hierarchical Structure and Laminated Strengthening and Toughening Mechanisms

“…Jiang et al [35] fabricated laminated Ti-Al 3 Ti composites using reaction vacuum sintering in 2003. During the impact testing process, the laminated composites can absorb lots of impact works through forming delamination cracks, and it is expected to be applied in the armor equipment and ballistic system.…”

Microstructure and Wear Resistance of a Novel Mo-Ni-Si System Intermetallic Composite with Ductile Mo Phase

“…[1][2][3][4] Attentions have been increasingly given to further enhance the comprehensive properties of intermetallic composites and promote their industrial applications. [5][6][7] Few works have been reported for materials related to NiMo/ Mo 2 Ni 3 Si intermetallic composite, although there have been already tremendous efforts made on refractory metal based alloys.…”

Numerical Simulation of Multilayer Composites Failure Under Dynamic Loading

“…A new class of structural materials called metal-intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites can have micro-, meso-and macrostructure [2][3][4][5][6][7]. The superior specific properties of this class of composites makes them attractive for high-performance aerospace applications, and the fabrication method for creating MIL composites allows new embedded technologies to be incorporated into the materials, enhancing their functionality and utility.…”
