• An investigation was conducted regarding the structural behavior of an axially reinforced tube. The material of the tube consisted of untreated 0.014 cm dia. boron fibers in a 6061 aluminum matrix. Expansion values for the tube were obtained in five successive heating and cooling cycles. Combined expansion data are presented in a graph. The investigation shows that good agreement can be obtained between theory and interferometric measurements in at least two directions of an as-fabricated, annealed structure.
