X-ray microcomputed tomography has been gaining relevance in the field of cellular materials to characterize materials and analyse their microstructure. So, here, it was used together with finite element modelling to develop numerical models to estimate the effective properties (Young’s modulus) of aluminium alloy foams and evaluate the effects of processing on the results. A manual global thresholding technique using the mass as a quality indicator was used. The models were reconstructed (Marching Cubes 33), then simplified and analysed in terms of mass and shape maintenance (Hausdorff distance algorithm) and face quality. Two simplification procedures were evaluated, with and without small structural imperfections, to evaluate the impact of the procedures on the results. Results demonstrate that the developed procedures are good at minimizing changes in mass and shape of the geometries while providing good face quality, i.e., face aspect ratio. The models are also shown to be able to predict the effective properties of metallic foams in accordance with the findings of other researchers. In addition, the process of obtaining the models and the presence of small structural imperfections were shown to have a great impact on the results.

This paper aims to investigate the mechanical (tensile, hardness, impact, elongation), microstructure and wear behaviours of aluminium alloy reinforced with mussel shell powder (MSP) at different weight percentages (0 wt. % to 15 wt. %) at 3 wt. % interval. The mussel shell powder was characterized by X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The matrix and the composites’ morphology were studied using a scanning electron microscope attached with energy dispersive spectroscopy for the distribution of mussel shell powder particles within the matrix. The wear behaviour of the alloy and composites produced at various reinforcements were carried out using a Taber abrasion wear-testing machine. The XRF showed the compositions of MSP to contain calcium oxide (95.70 %), silica (0.83 %) and others. Mechanical properties showed that tensile values increase with increases in MSP, hardness value increases from 6 wt. % to 15 wt. % of MSP. The impact energy decreased from 42.6 J at 3 wt. % to 22.6 J at 15 wt. %; the percentage elongation also decreased from 37.4 % at 3 wt. % to 20.5 % at 15 wt. % MSP, respectively. The bending stress results increase with increases in the percentage of reinforcement. The morphologies revealed that uniform distribution of MSP within the matrix resulted to improvement in mechanical properties. The wear resistance of the composites increases with increase in the applied load and decreases with increases in the weight percentage of MSP and can be used in the production of brake pads and insulators in the automobile industry.

This short paper is confined to a discussion on one aspect of the Structural Design of Supersonic Transports. It is chosen because it covers the area in which the impact of supersonics is probably most critical from the structural point of view, i.e. kinetic heating.It is of utmost importance that the significance of kinetic heating is not exaggerated. Adequate attention must be paid to assessing the degree to which past experience is relevant if excess weight is to be avoided.It is in this direction that the discussion is aimed.In view of the need to keep the paper short, attention is concentrated on the Mach 2 class of aeroplane constructed largely of aluminium alloy. Much of what is said will also have relevance to the Mach 3 class of aeroplane.

Mechanical properties (impact, hardness and tensile strength) characterization of samples containing homogenous mixtures of Al 6063 matrix and varying amount of silver nanoparticles mixed with calcium carbonate at 2, 4, 6% weight fractions, respectively, produced by method of stir casting were carried out. Measurement of impact energy, hardness and tensile strength of the produced samples at 24℃ (ambient) temperature was done by Charpy impact, Brinell hardness and universal tensile testing machine in accordance to ASTM E23, E384 and E8/E8M-13M, respectively. The magnitude of impact and hardness increased evidently with increase in percentage weight fraction of the AgNPs. The refined samples were examined under an optical microscope. The fracture surfaces of the impact test samples were further examined by scanning electron microscopy. There is an increase in tensile strength, elongation and modulus of elasticity of Al-AgNP composites compared to as-cast aluminium alloy. The use of stir-casting technique influences the homogeneity and microstructure of the composites positively. It is concluded that Al-silver nanocomposites possess better qualities in hardness and strength and can replace conventional aluminium alloy in terms of performance and longer life in industrial application.
