Popis: Neutron powder diffraction was employed to investigate the deformation-induced changes of matrix residual stresses in an annealed 20 vol pct SiC whisker-reinforced 6061 Al composite. It was found that the changes are asymmetric in response to a uniaxial external tensile or compressive load applied along the longitudinal whisker axis. In order to investigate this unusual asymmetric behavior and understand the underlying mechanisms, the finite element method (FEM) was employed and a parametric study was conducted. It was found that a gradient of plastic flow in the matrix is responsible for the asymmetric changes.
