Abstract
Internal and residual stresses in metal matrix composites (MMCs) operate over a range of length scales which ultimately decide both their properties and potential applications. In this chapter, the types of internal stresses which manifest and their origins will be presented. This includes the stresses that arise due to elastic and thermal mismatch, plastic misfit and phase changes. Measurement techniques to characterise residual stresses are subsequently described and recent directions in MMCs are discussed in terms of residual stress and their measurement.
