Dynamic Compressive Strength Summary for Trimodal Al MMCs

*Approximate strain to failure is an estimate based on a point the curve begins unloading or the slope changes due to failure.
It is an estimate of potential strain in the material and not an exact measure, because rise times for loading can vary.
