Microstructure and properties of SiC particle reinforced AA7075 composites by friction stir processing by Yuhan Duan, Yuehui Dang, Shuang Yi, Xianming Cao, Yu Cao, Zejun Chen

“…The uniform distribution of SiC particles transferred loads efficiently during impact, absorbing a significant amount of energy. This causes crack deflection and delays the fracture process, allowing the material to withstand higher impact loads while maintaining excellent impact toughness, with a maximum impact load and impact energy of 4.83 kN and 6780 mJ, respectively. …”

Influence of Tire-Recycled Steel Fibers on Strength and Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete by Yancong Zhang, Lingling Gao

“…To obtain concrete with approximately the same strength or toughness, the content of tire-recycled steel fibers should be about 1%-2% higher than that of industrial steel fibers. In addition, the load-deflection curve tends to become fuller after the first crack, and the second peak of the load continues to increase. …”
