Abstract
This paper describes the results of plate impact experiments conducted on a alumina short fiber reinforced ZL109 cast aluminium alloy. The loading was produced by a 100mm bore light gas gun. The metal-matrix composite specimen was backed with a PMMA. Manganin gauges were used to measure the normal stress history at the interface between the specimen and the PMMA. The dynamic yield strength and spall strength of the metal-matrix composite were determined.
