heal.abstract	The mechanical behaviour of Metal Matrix Composites and their respective matrix alloys, that find extensive use in aerospace applications, is studied in the present work, from the Fracture Mechanics point of view. Experiments were executed in Single Edge Notched specimens with various initial crack inclinations and the Crack Opening Displacement was recorded versus externally applied load. An empirical criterion was established permitting easy, in situ inspection of the safety and further loading capacity of cracked structural members, already in function. A preliminary relationship between critical Crack Opening Displacement and failure criteria is indicated. The influence of the anisotropy induced by the rolling direction is also studied.
