Abstract:

Lotus-type porous materials (LTPMs) are considered as a new category of engineering materials. They are porous materials characterized by long, straight, unidirectional cylindrical pores, and are obtained via unidirectional solidification from a melt under hydrogen and argon atmospheres. The anisotropic pore morphology of lotus-type materials results in the anisotropy of their mechanical and physical properties. This study aims at investigating the effect of cross-sectional pore shapes on the effective Young's modulus (EYM) of LTPMs. The representative volume element-based finite element homogenization method was used to compute the effective bulk and shear moduli. Subsequently, the EYM was deduced from the effective bulk and shear moduli. The numerical results of the circular pores were validated by comparing them with experimental results. Because the results indicated that the EYM is extremely sensitive to the variation in the pore shapes, a formula for estimating the EYM of LTPMs by considering the pore shapes was developed and validated.

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.
