Abstract: "The project is part of the civil engineering and transport scientific discipline. Metal-ceramic composites (IPC), tested in the project, are made of a metal matrix and ceramic foam. These two interpenetrating components are called phases. Due to the existence of ceramic foam, composites are relatively light, and the metal matrix makes the material resistant to brittle fracture. In addition, the metal matrix improves impact resistance. Taking into account the properties of IPCs, they can be subjected to extreme loads, such as: variable dynamic loads, high temperatures, impacts. These unique properties enable the use of metal-ceramic composites in aviation, space research, nuclear energy and the defense industry. The subject of the project is related to the discipline of Civil Engineering and Transport.
