Some conclusions can be obtained:Orowan strengthening and dislocation strengthening stress can be enhanced by increasing volume fraction, decreasing size of reinforcement and improving homogeneous distribution of reinforcement, load-bearing strengthening stress can also be enhanced by increasing volume fraction; yield strength and ductibility of MMCs can be enhanced much more by increasing load-bearing strengthening stress and plastic deformation region and adopting the material design method of metal matrix surrounded by particles with microstructural inhomogenous distribution; grain boundary strengthening and Peierls-Nabarro stress can also affect the yield strength of MMCs as a part of matrix strengthening, solid solution strengthening can be ignored usually; there are three coupling relationships for the sum strengthening contributions:linear summation, multiplicative combination and the root of the sum of the squares. The linear summation and multiplicative combination can be applied to nanoparticle-reinforced MMCs, the linear summation is generally applicable in the case when there are few factors influencing the strength, the multiplicative combination is the most commonly used method. The root of the sum of the squares is applied to micronparticle-reinforced MMCs.

The electric and absorbing wave properties of fibers in structural radar absorbing material are reviewed. Glass fibers and Kevlar fibers are transparent to radar wave. Carbon fiber graphited at high temperatures strongly reflects the radar wave. Ungraphited carbon fiber reflects radar wave when it is parallel to the electric filed and absorbs radar wave when it is perpendicular or oblique to the electric filed.

During fabrication of SiC _f/glass ceramic composites, reaction takes place between fiber and matrix. As a result, a carbon rich layer interface is formed. It facilitates the radar wave absorption of the composites.
