However, owing to the preferred orientation of the whiskers, the £\ value for each SiC whisker content is greater in the direction parallel compared with the direction perpendicular, to the hot-pressing axis. The observed behavior is generally consistent with that predicted by a model based on the effects of internal thermal mechanical mismatch strains in composites with oriented reinforcements. ? 1995.Alumina compositesHot pressingSiC whiskersThermal expansion anistropy[SDGs]SDG11journal article10.1016/0921-5093(94)09687-22-s2.0-0029327967https://www2.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-0029327967&doi=10.1016%2f0921-5093%2894%2909687-2&partnerID=40&md5=fe07e1f66ff8bf44cafb025a8a626732
