Sétif , ancient Sitifis, city (1998 pop. 211,859), capital of Sétif prov., NE Algeria. It is the commercial center of a region where native textiles and phosphates are manufactured and cereals are grown. Sétif was built by the French on the ruins of the Roman town of Sitifis, founded in the 1st cent. AD In 1945, more than 100 Europeans were killed in a revolt against French rule; it resulted in a bloody reprisal in which more than 6,000 Muslims died. There is a Roman mausoleum on the outskirts of the city.

Tensile and Fatigue Behavior of Al-Based Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Continuous Carbon or Alumina Fibers: Part II. Quasi-Unidirectional Composite Cross-Ply Laminates
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions; 10/1/2004; Valle, R; Vidal-Sétif, M-H; Schuster, D; Vacon, P Le; 6151 words
; The mechanical behavior (tension, fatigue, and notch sensitivity) of Al-based metal matrix composite (MMC) cross-ply laminates is investigated. The two selected laminates, K139/A357 and N610/AU2, are reinforced by continuous K139 (carbon) or N610 (alumina) fibers. These multiplies consist in the

Tensile and Fatigue Behavior of Al-Based Metal Matrix Composites Reinforced with Continuous Carbon or Alumina Fibers: Part I. Quasi-Unidirectional Composites
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions; 10/1/2004; Jacquesson, M; Girard, A; Vidal-Sétif, M-H; Valle, R; 8147 words
; The thermomechanical (dilatometric, tensile, and fatigue) behavior of al-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) is investigated. These composites are reinforced by quasi-unidirectional (quasi-UD) woven fabric preforms with 90 pct of continuous fibers in the longitudinal direction and 10 pct in the
