Match the strengthening mechanisms in composites with their descriptions:

Fiber bridging = Mechanism where fibers prevent crack propagation Matrix hardening = Mechanism where matrix material resists deformation Particle reinforcement = Mechanism where particles enhance load-bearing capacity Interfacial bonding = Mechanism where strong bond between matrix and reinforcement improves strength Signup and view all the answers

Match the fracture modes of particle reinforced composites with their characteristics:

Interfacial debonding = Delamination at interface due to weak bonding Particle pull-out = Particles pulled out from matrix due to applied stress Matrix cracking = Cracks forming in the matrix material Fiber breakage = Failure of fibers within the composite Signup and view all the answers
