Abstract
A laser optoacoustic method for analyzing the effect of porosity on the local isotropic Young's modulus of composite materials was proposed and experimentally implemented. Using as an example samples of a metal matrix composite based on silumin with reinforcing microparticles of silicon carbide, SiC, in various concentrations, it is shown that to provide an effective increase in Young's modulus with increasing concentration of SiC, the porosity of the final sample should not exceed 2%.
