摘要

The constraint effects of SiC particle volume fractions and their specimen geometry are analyzed by conducting tensile tests while changing the SiC particle volume fraction 0%, 2% and 10% and the tensile specimen notch radius 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0 mm. The effect of constraint on the void configuration and coalescence are investigated experimentally using 3-dimensional SEM fracture surface observations and 3-dimensional. image analysis. It was found that the final void volume fraction and void shape were greatly affected by stress triaxiality and deformation constraint.
