Abstract
Fragmentation tests have been conducted on elementary aluminium matrix /silicon carbide fibre composites. The results obtained are not consis tent with Kelly and Tyson's load transfer theory widely used to determ ine the load transfer capacity in plastic matrix composites. From thes e results and the conducted observations, a model has been developed, trying to take into account the hardening of the matrix. The results o btained with this model are used to point out further necessary develo pments of the theory. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Limited.
