Aluminosilicate glass fibres

Figure 12.9(a) is a picture of a silicon carbide fibre (Nicalon) in a calcium-aluminosilicate glass matrix. This picture is taken from a detailed study of... 

Fig. 12.9. A silicon carbide fibre in a calcium-aluminosilicate glass matrix (a) ELSAM, 1.9 GHz, z= —3.2 pm (b) calculated contrast from eqns (12.2), (12.45), and (12.46), horizontal scale the same as (a), with tick spacing 2.5 pm this time the experimental parameters gave the best fit without any adjustment (Lawrence 1990).
