The results show that SiCw / Al composites exhibit improved mechan ical properties and cyclic hard ening. The reasons leading to the above results are discussed. Localized deformation near SiC whiskers plays an important role in the initiation of microcracks in the composites, and the fracture of the composites is caused by the abrupt linking of microcracks展开更多

All circles of the society and the broad masses of people i n China are unprecedentedly raising their scientific and technical awareness and so gradually reaching more and more common understanding of the role that fundamental research in natural science has been playing as a cornerstone in the implementation of "the strategy of revitalizing China through science and education".展开更多

First, four important concepts(basic science, basic discipline, basic research, fundamental research) are analyzed. Then, reserve strength for the development of basic disciplines in China is considered in accordance with funds that have been put into basic research. Finally, several theoretical cognition problems concerning the development of basic disciplines (such as social function of science, motive force for the development of basic disciplines, as well as soft environment and cultural atmosphere favourable to it) are discussed.展开更多
