Mathematical Model Validation of Experimental Results of SiC _p /Al ₂ O ₃ Ceramic Matrix Composites Prepared by Directed Metal Oxidation of an Al Alloy

In this paper, SiC_p/Al₂O₃ ceramic matrix composites are fabricated with specimen of dimensions measuring 70 × 70 × 20, in mm with varying volume fractions in the range of 0.35 to 0.43. The purpose of this paper is to compare experimental results namely physical properties of SiC_p/Al₂O₃ composites with mathematical models. The model predictions were compared with the experimental data

In the present paper, different mathematical models are used to comparison of physical properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion and modulus of elasticity of SiC_p/Al₂O₃ composites with different volume fractions of SiC in the range of 0.35 to 0.43. The comparison experimental results with mathematical models provide detailed information about the results of these comparisons. The models were capable of predicting the data for some scenarios fairly well.
