Particulate Reinforced

The deformation behavior of particulate reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMCs) under monotonic and cyclic loadings was simulated by FEA method. Base on the cohesive zone model, the effect of the interface between particle and matrix was considered. Then, the finite element simulation of the PRMMCs with an ideal interface and weak interface was compared with corresponding experimental results. It is shown that: with a weak interface been considered in the finite element simulations, the resistance of PRMMCs to the ratcheting strain was reduced, which gets more closed to the experimental results.

Element Analysis

A three-dimensional finite element model for scarf-repaired composite laminate was established on continuum damage model to predict the load capacity under tensile loading. The mixed-mode cohesive zone model was adopted to the debonding behavior analysis of adhesive. Damage condition and failure of laminates and adhesive were subsequently addressed. A three-dimensional bilinear constitutive model was developed for composite materials based on damage mechanics and applied to damage evolution and loading capacity analyses by quantifying damage level through damage state variables. The numerical analyses were implemented with ABAQUS finite element analysis by coding the constitutive model into material subroutine VUMAT. Good agreement between the numerical and experimental results shows the accuracy and adaptability of the model.

Two Phases

The introduction of reinforcement in a Metal Matrix causes micro-stresses which may prove to be very detrimental for the life of the component. Submitting the components to annealing thermal treatments introduces thermal mismatch stresses. They are generated during cooling due to the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient of the two phases. Finite Element Analysis has been performed to study this effect and the results have been experimentally validated by X-ray diffraction, SEM investigation and EDAX on an AA2009 + 25% SiCp extruded shaft for helicopters, simplified as a thin extruded tube.

The Finite Element Analysis

The crack extension in a compact tension specimen of hydrided irradiated Zr-2.5Nb material is investigated by a two-dimensional plane stress finite element analysis. The stress-strain relation of the Zr-2.5Nb material for the finite element analysis is obtained from fitting the experimental tensile stress-strain curve of the irradiated Zr-2.5Nb material without hydrides by a three-dimensional finite element analysis. The calibration of the cohesive zone model with a trapezoidal traction-separation law is based on fitting the load-displacement-crack extension experimental data of a compact tension specimen of hydrided irradiated Zr-2.5Nb material. The general trends of the load-displacement, crack extension-displacement, and load-crack extension curves obtained from the finite element analysis based on the calibrated cohesive zone model are in agreement with the experimental data.
