Metal Matrix composites (MMCs) are light weight, high-strength materials with potential application in areas such as automobile, aerospace, defence and other industries. MMCs are projected to significantly reduce the overall weight of the vehicle and aircraft while maintaining satisfactory structural strength. Micron and Nano-sized ceramic particle reinforced aluminum matrix composites fabricat...

Adaptive structures, embedded with sensors and actuators, have many applications, such as damage detection, structural health monitoring, noise reduction, etc. Recent developments in adaptive composites and their fabrication techniques have focussed on robust metal-matrix and polymer-matrix adaptive structures. Metal-matrix structures are used in applications where structure is required to with...
