Abstract:

Computational homogenization is demonstrated as a potential analysis tool that can be used directly to predict the property structure relationships of many existing classes of composites. Based on finite element simulations, using the Zebulon structures calculation code, the present study is devoted to computation and estimation the effective behavior of the nonlinear composite materials with randomly identical elastic perfectly plastic parallel cylindrical fibers distribution in linear elastic matrix phase. The parameters of effective behavior of the composite will be expressed. These parameters are the effective elastic tangent modulus, effective plastic tangent modulus and effective yield stress. The proposed method can be readily applied to compute the parameters of effective behavior composite, using a new proposed analytical expression based on the volume fraction and effective Young's modulus of each component. A good agreement between expression and simulation results is observed. Several examples are shown.

Prediction of effective properties for multiphase composite is very important not only to analysis and optimization of material performance, but also to new material designs. In this paper, the effective elastic property of some complex particulate composites is analyzed and compared with numerical results, demonstrating the validity of the proposed approach. We propose the equivalent morphology concept for the numerical homogenization of random composites. In this study, this concept is extended for complex material. A home script based on Python codes is made to automate the generating of Representative volume element with various volume fraction.

In this paper, the study of precipitation reaction in the aluminum alloy known as AGS 6101. For the case of Cold drawn wires process in the open air space and at room temperature for two years, we inspect first the presence of precipitates in the microstructure and study the effect of heat treatment on the activation of this phenomenon [1]. The second objective of this work is to see the effect of natural and thermal aging on the microstructural evolution of cold-drawn aluminum wires (AGS) 6101 [2-5]. The characterization methods used in this work are optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction.
