AI Thread Summary
Determining the strength of individual phases in a microstructure is essential for calculating the overall strength of a composite material. The discussion highlights the use of a standard formula for evaluating properties of homogeneous composites, which averages the properties of each phase based on their respective weights. To find the strength values (R1 and R2) for the individual phases, one can refer to compiled data tables that list the properties of pure phases. However, the conversation indicates that there are no straightforward formulas for calculating strength from these individual phase properties, emphasizing the need for background information on available data sources for phase properties.

Hello,

soon I will be taken examinations about microstructures and phase diagram.
Very interesting stuff, but I how can I determine the strenght of a phase in a microstructure?

I know the basic formula's to calculate the totale strenght, but I therefore I would need also the strenght of each individual phase.

For example: R=\frac{R_{1}.weight_{1}+R_{2}.weight_{2}}{weight total}
How can I get R1 and R2?

Anybody can help me?

Sorry for bumping if this is the case.

That's a standard formula for evaluating properties of homogeneous composites (i.e., the (volume/weight/molar) averaged values of a property given by parallel and series permutations of the properties of each phase generally bound the composite properties by assuming opposite extreme cases of load transfer).

The R1 and R2 values would just be associated with the pure phase properties, as found in compiled data tables.
 
So there doens't exist clear formulas for calculating strenght based on the properties of the individual phases?

Because I never heard of those tables, possible to give me a some background information about those data?

Anyone, need some more information.

Thansk anyway!
