Abstract:

Transversal cross-section pores of lotus-type porous materials are generally considered circular; however, they exhibit various pore geometries, which affect their effective properties. The main objective of this work is to develop a generalized model which allows estimating the effective Young’s modulus of multi-void shape porous microstructures by exploiting a relationship developed to evaluate the effective Young’s modulus of porous materials with single-void shape. A procedure based on free software is then proposed to allow the application of the proposed generalized model on real lotus-type porous material images to estimate the effective Young’s modulus. The free tool allows the processing of real porous materials images to obtain multi-void shape microstructures and their pores parameters data. The validation of the generalized model has been established by confronting the obtained results with experimental data taken from literature; an excellent agreement was observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that the proposed procedure associated with the generalized model can be used efficiently for predicting the effective Young’s modulus of the multi-void porous materials, particularly lotus-type porous materials.

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.
