## Abstract Aluminum matrix composites (AMC) exhibit an attractive combination of mechanical and physical properties such as high stiffness and low density, which favors their utilization in many structural applications. Thus, increasing the structural applications of AMC is the driving force for t

β¦ Synopsis
The fracture of 6061 T-6 aluminum plates, at high temperatures and at rapid heating rates, was investigated. Three heating rates were employed-low (lS"C/s), medium (15o"C/s), and high (15OOC/s). Single edge notched specimens were tested. The effective fracture toughness, K: based on LEFM was used to quantify the relationship between fracture toughness and temperature. The Kr was found to decrease as temperature increased in the same manner as the strength.
Heating rate, at least in the range tested, had little effect on either the strength or the fracture toughness. Further, it was found that the fracture behavior of 6061 T-6 aluminum under the tested conditions can be related to net-section yielding.

This work deals with rotating bending fatigue tests on aluminum alloy HS6061-T6. Results have been obtained for two sizes of narrow section diameter for specimens with one hole. Results show that fatigue endurance is reduced in the case of the hole. In order to explain this behavior, numerical analy
