Abstract
Residual thermal strains in a SiC‐whisker‐reinforced/Al2O3‐matrix composite were measured as functions of temperature and volume fraction of whiskers by means of a neutron diffraction technique. The residual strains in both phases decrease with increasing temperature. At room temperature, the residual strains in the whiskers decrease with increasing whisker volume fraction, but the tensile residual strains in the matrix increase. The results agree well with those predicted by an analytical method.
