The present study aims at describing the debonding phenomenon of a particle embedded in an elastic matrix. Two types of fracture mechanics approaches are developed and compared in this context. The phenomenon is analytically described using a finite fracture mechanics approach, while numerical simulations are performed using a cohesive zone model to describe the decohesion process. Both methods rely on two mechanical parameters: the interface strength, σmax and the fracture energy, Gc, of the interface. Both modelling approaches produce results that show larger particles tend to debond before smaller ones although noticeable differences are observed, especially concerning the relationship between the critical load and the particle radius: in the framework of the FFM, the critical load is inversely proportional to the square root of the particle radius, while when using CZM, the critical load is inversely proportional to the particle radius.

During the micromachining processes of particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (PMMCs), matrix-particle interface failure plays an important role in the cutting mechanism. This paper presents a novel analytical model to predict the cutting forces in micromilling of this material considering particle debonding caused by interface failure. The particle debonding is observed not only in the processed surface but also in the chip. A new algorithm is proposed to estimate the particles debonding force caused by interface failure with the aid of Nardin–Schultz model. Then, several aspects of the cutting force generation mechanism are considered in this paper, including particles debonding force in the shear zone and build-up region, particles cracking force in the build-up region, shearing and ploughing forces of metal matrix, and varying sliding friction coefficients due to the reinforced particles in the chip-tool interface. The micro-slot milling experiments are carried out on a self-made three-axis high-precision machine tool, and the comparison between the predicted cutting forces and measured values shows that the proposed model can provide accurate prediction. Finally, the effects of interface failure, reinforced particles, and tool edge radius on cutting forces are investigated by the proposed model and some conclusions are given as follows: the particles debonding force caused by interface failure is significant and takes averagely about 23% of the cutting forces under the given cutting conditions; reinforced particles and edge radius can greatly affect the micromilling process of PMMCs.

Particle reinforced MMCs with a particle size of 100µm and an aluminium matrix (Al6061) are analyzed by the means of automatic local deformation analysis. Two different heat treatment conditions (under- and over-aged) are investigated. It is found that the local deformation behaviour is strongly determined by particle damage. While the under-aged material shows only particle fracture, the over-aged MMC shows also particle debonding as a relevant damage mechanism.
