Notes:
Abstract A novel stroboscopic neutron diffraction data collection system has beendeveloped. In combination with scanning laser extensometry this has beenused to investigate the thermal cycling behaviour of SiC short fibrereinforced Al matrix composites. Three-dimensional unit cell finite elementmodels have been produced, incorporating matrix deformation both by creepand plasticity. Comparison of the experimental results with modelpredictions has allowed conclusions to be drawn about the deformationprocesses which dominate at different parts of the thermal cycle.
