Quality products with low cost manufacturing routes are the major objectives for the product development in any application. The current statement is evident for polymer-matrix composites, particularly in high end applications such as aerospace and mass transit structures. These applications require advanced composite materials tailored to meet the property demands posted by dynamic load conditions, and hence, the use of wide spectrum of constituents and architectures are vital to cater the needs. Consequently, the development of novel composite materials with the permutations of ingredients leads to the innovative processing techniques. To address the gap in the manufacturing with economical processing routes of thick sectioned advanced composite parts showing superior properties at different wall sections, an innovative composite manufacturing technology coupling resin transfer moulding (RTM) processing and vacuum applications, namely vacuum enhanced resin transfer moulding technology (VERTMTy), is conceptualized, proposed, and developed.

Advanced composite materials (ACMs) are also known as advanced polymer matrix composites. These are generally characterized or determined by unusually high strength fibers with unusually high stiffness, or modulus of elasticity characteristics, compared to other materials, while bound together by weaker matrices. These are termed advanced composite materials (ACMs) in comparison to the composite materials commonly in use such as reinforced concrete, or even concrete itself. The high strength fibers are also low density while occupying a large fraction of the volume. Advanced composites exhibit desirable physical and chemical properties that include light weight coupled with high stiffness (elasticity), and strength along the direction of the reinforcing fiber, dimensional stability, temperature and chemical resistance, flex performance and relatively easy processing. Advanced composites are replacing metal components in many uses, particularly in the aerospace industry.

During the past 25 years materials scientists have been able to make a major change in the way materials are considered for application. In the past designers have worked with data representing the properties of homogeneous, isotropic materials and designed their components to fit written accepted ranges of “design allowables”. More recently, however, the concept of composite materials has permitted almost limitless tailoring of composites to create entirely new designs never previously possible. By choice of types of material constituents, their relative percentages and their orientation the designer can now work closely with the materials scientist to optimize system performance. This philosophy has firmly taken hold in the family of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites and more recently has made metal matrix composites an industrial reality.

Computational homogenization provides an excellent tool for the design of composite materials. In the current work, a computational approach is presented that is capable of estimating the elastic and rate-independent plastic constitutive behavior of metal matrix composites using finite element models of representative volume elements (RVEs) of the composite material. For this purpose, methodologies for the generation of three-dimensional computational microstructures, size determination of RVEs and the homogenization techniques are presented. Validation of the approach is carried out using aluminum–alumina composite samples prepared using sintering technique. Using the homogenized material response, effective constitutive models of the composite materials have been determined.

A review of scientific and technical literature in the field of hybrid metal composite materials (MMС) based on aluminum alloys is presented. The most widespread at present matrix aluminum alloys and reinforcing components for the manufacture of hybrid MMCs are considered. The main methods of manufacturing MMCs are shown, as well as the effect of matrix aluminum alloys and reinforcing components on the mechanical, thermophysical and tribological properties of hybrid MMCs. A comparison of the characteristics of hybrid MCMs with matrix alloys and MCMs of similar systems is given.

Utilization of agricultural by products as a reinforcement which offers a effective consequences on composite materials in the present days. Also a number of the agro waste substances as an ash are secondary filler material for Metal matrix composite materials. In this paper observe changed into achieved on characterization of agriculture waste ashes like Rice husk ash (RHA) and ASA (Areca sheath ash), burned at Controlled temperatures at 650°C in a metallurgical furnace at 3 exceptional durations of instances like 1hr, 2hr, and 3hr. Also each ashes were chemically and physically characterized, consequently decide the proportion of composition. The ensuing ashes have been analyzed the use of chemical evaluation via XRF and volumetric, gravimetric and instrumental test, SEM and EDS to determine their chemical composition which may be similarly used as reinforcement with metal matrix composites. Results acquired that impact of burning temperature and time on Chemical composition, Physical property, Loss of ignition (LOI) and Density. The ashes have been discovered to include excessive percent of silica content of 90% to 92% in Rice husk ash and 74% to 78% in Areca palm leaf sheath ash, after which accompanied through alumina content of 0.89% to 0.98% in each substances at 650oc temperatures respectively, additionally density of 0.98gm/cc for RHA and 1.12gm/cc Areca palm leaf sheath ash. Loss on ignition (LOI) of 4.5% to5.5% acquired on the equal temperature. These consequences suggests that rice husk ash and Areca sheath ash include excessive percent silica and a few alumina and may be utilized in chemical formulations requiring silica which include in metal matrix composites.

Advanced composite materials are playing an increasingly important role in the design and fabrication of high performance space structures. Composite materials may be tailored for a particular application to establish a unique combination of high specific stiffness and strength, dimensional stability and specific damping which makes these materials ideal candidates for many applications in the hostile space environment. Demonstrative examples of typical applications to primary structures and payloads, each with a different set of performance requirements, are presented in this paper. Unfortunately, the use of polymer matrix composites for very long exposure to space has not been without problems due to various environmental effects which are discussed. The use of metal matrix composites is proposed as a possible solution to the problem. However, an understanding of the fundamental properties of composites and their response to space environmental effects is essential before the full benefit of these materials can be realized.
