Abstract
The basic science underneath the phenomenon of thermal expansion in composite materials is presented on the basis of a comprehensive review of literature. Owing to the high yield strength of the matrix, the effective thermal expansion of metal matrix composites depends on an intricate manner on the highly anisotropic internal stresses that are induced by the mismatch between the thermo-elastic constants of the phases. Three cases are discussed successively: (1) pure elastic behavior of the phases; (2) plastic yielding in the matrix; (3) role of porosity and damage.
