Abstract
Low density titanium based metal matrices combined with high strength and stiffness ceramic fibers are under widespread investigation for possible use in high temperature aerospace applications [1]. Inherent in the processing of these composite materials are the residual stresses resulting from the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the fiber and matrix. A tensile hoop and a compressive radial stress result upon cooling from the consolidation temperature because the fiber has a smaller expansion coefficient [2]. The thermal stresses can be very large and may exceed the matrix yield or even fracture stress [3].
