The service performance is seriously effected by milling machined surface integrity of auto hardened steel mould. Basing on the microscopic damage evolution theory and hardened steel mould material micro-voids cell model, according to the service process load condition of hardened steel milling machined surface, surface microscopic damage evolution analysis had been conducted, surface evolution characteristics was obtained under different shapes void cell. Through comparative analysis the change law of damage evolution internal variable under different shapes void cell can know: respect to the ideal spherical, when the change of void volume fraction and the degree of matrix material yield were considered, the oblate hole more faster and the prolate hole more slower, which provide a further prediction for surface damage.

The utilization of Al/SiCp metal matrix composites in different engineering fields has undergone a tremendous increase due to its tailor-made properties that can be achieved by varying the size and volume fraction of reinforcement. However, the difficulty in machining of metal matrix composites (MMCs) arises not only from the excessive wear of the cutting tools but also from fracturing of the reinforcement particles on machined surfaces that leaves behind adhered particle fragments, pits and cavities. These characteristics in machining of MMCs tend to adversely affect the machined surface quality/integrity. Hence, some attempts are made to improve the machinability of MMCs and surface quality by hot machining using wiper inserts. Experimental results indicate that the moderate heating of Al/SiCp composite material prior to machining (60-90°C) reduces the machining forces and improves the surface quality by minimizing, debonding, fracture and pull-out of reinforcement particles from the matrix material.

A void coalescence term was proposed as an addition to the original void nucleation and growth (NAG) model to accurately describe void evolution under dynamic loading. The new model, termed as modified void nucleation and growth model (MNAG model), incorporated analytic equations to explicitly account for the evolution of the void number density and the void volume fraction (damage) during void nucleation, growth, as well as the coalescence stage. The parameters in the MNAG model were fitted to molecular dynamics (MD) shock data for single-crystal and nanocrystalline Ta, and the corresponding nucleation, growth, and coalescence rates were extracted. The results suggested that void nucleation, growth, and coalescence rates were dependent on the orientation as well as grain size. Compared to other models, such as NAG, Cocks–Ashby, Tepla, and Tonks, which were only able to reproduce early or later stage damage evolution, the MNAG model was able to reproduce all stages associated with nucleation, growth, and coalescence. The MNAG model could provide the basis for hydrodynamic simulations to improve the fidelity of the damage nucleation and evolution in 3-D microstructures.

Flow Theory Of Plasticity

In a numerical micromechanical study of the tensile properties of a metal reinforced by short whiskers, the elastic-plastic deformations of the metal are described in terms of crystalline plasticity, using a planar crystal model that allows for either two or three slip systems. Plane strain analyses are carried out for a periodic array of aligned whiskers for whisker volume fractions of 10 percent to 30 percent, and comparison is made with predictions based on a corresponding flow theory of plasticity with isotropic hardening. The predicted trend for composite strengthening with whisker volume fraction is the same for the various matrix material constitutive characterizations. It is found that the crystal model can give rise to shear localization, initiating at the sharp whisker edges. As a consequence of this localization, the stress carrying capacity eventually drops.

Propagation of ultrasonic wave in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) is greatly influenced by the material’s matrix, resins and fiber volume ratio. Laser ultrasonic broadband spectral technique has been demonstrated for porosity and fiber volume ratio extraction on unidirection aligned CFRP laminates. Porosity in the matrix materials can be calculated by longitudinal wave attenuation and accurate fiber volume ratio can be derived by combined velocity through the high strength carbon fiber and the matrix material with further consideration of porosity effects. The results have been benchmarked by pulse-echo ultrasonic tests, gas pycnometer and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The potentials and advantages of the laser ultrasonic technique as a non-destructive evaluation method for CFRP carbon fiber volume fraction evaluation were demonstrated.

This research work has mainly utilized agricultural waste material to make a good-quality composite sheet product of the profitable, pollution free, economical better for farmer and industries. In this study, from corn leaf fibre to reinforced epoxy composite product has been utilized with minimum 35 to maximum range 55% but according to earlier studies, pulp composite material was used in minimum 10 to maximum 27%. Natural fibre-based composites are under intensive study due to their light weight, eco-friendly nature and unique properties. Due to the continuous supply, easy of handling, safety and biodegradability, natural fibre is considered as better alternative in replacing many structural and non-structural components. Corn leaf fibre pulp can be new source of raw material to the industries and can be potential replacement for the expensive and non-renewable synthetic fibre. Corn leaf fibre as the filler material and epoxy as the matrix material were used by changing reinforcement weight fraction. Composites were prepared using hand lay-up techniques by maintaining constant fibre and matrix volume fraction. The sample of the composites thus fabricated was subjected to tensile, impact test for finding the effect of corn husk in different concentrations.

A typical plant leaf can be idealized as a composite having three principal fibers: the central mid-fiber corresponding to the mid-rib, straight parallel secondary fibers attached to the mid-fiber representing the secondary veins, and then another set of parallel fibers emanating from the secondary fibers mimicking the tertiary fibers embedded in a matrix material. This paper introduces a biomimetic composite design inspired by the morphology of venous leafs and investigates the effects of venation morphologies on the in-plane mechanical properties of the biomimetic composites using finite element method. The mechanical properties such as Young’s moduli, Poisson’s ratio, and yield stress under uniaxial loading of the resultant composite structures was studied and the effect of different fiber architectures on these properties was investigated. To this end, two broad types of architectures were used both having similar central main fiber but differing in either having only secondary fibers or additional tertiary fibers. The fiber and matrix volume fractions were kept constant and a comparative parametric study was carried out by varying the inclination of the secondary fibers. The results show that the elastic modulus of composite in the direction of main fiber increases linearly with increasing the angle of the secondary fibers. Furthermore, the elastic modulus is enhanced if the secondary fibers are closed, which mimics composites with closed cellular fibers. In contrast, the elastic modulus of composites normal to the main fiber ( x direction) exponentially decreases with the increase of the angle of the secondary fibers and it is little affected by having secondary fibers closed. Similar results were obtained for the yield stress of the composites. The results also indicate that Poisson’s ratio linearly increases with the secondary fiber angle. The results also show that for a constant fiber volume fraction, addition of various tertiary fibers may not significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The mechanical properties of the composites are mainly dominated by the secondary fibers. Finally, a simple model was proposed to predict these behaviors.

In continuous fiber reinforced metal matrix composites, the volume fraction of voids in the matrix material is an important parameter for material property characterization. In analyzing a cross-sectional micrograph of such a composite, the presence of fiber images and voids occurring on the perimeter of fibers complicates the determination of void content. This paper describes image processing steps using mathematical morphology for the extraction of void fraction in a composite.
