Strain gradient effects on deformation strengthening behavior of particle reinforced metal matrix composites
نویسنده
چکیده
Dislocation models with considering the mismatch of elastic modulus between matrix and reinforcing particles are used to determine the effective strain gradient h for particle reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCp) in the present research. Based on Taylor relation and the kinetics of dislocation multiplication, glide and annihilation, a strain gradient dependent constitutive equation is developed. By using this strain gradient-dependent constitutive equation, size-dependent deformation strengthening behavior is characterized. The results demonstrate that the smaller the particle size, the more excellent in the reinforcing effect. Some comparisons with the available experimental results demonstrate that the present approach is satisfactory. # 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Microstructural aspects of composites such as particle size, shape, and distribution play important roles in deformation behavior. 3D visualization of porosity and Fe-rich inclusions in three dimensions is critical to a thorough understanding of fatigue resistance of metal matrix composites (MMC) because cracks often initiate at these defects. In this paper we have used X-ray synchrotron tomogr...
متن کاملComputational evaluation of the homogeneity of composites processed by accumulative roll bonding (ARB)
A new computational method based on MATLAB was used to study the effect of different parameters on the homogeneity of composites produced by a severe plastic deformation technique known as accumulative roll bonding. For a higher number of passes, the degree of particle agglomeration and clustering decreased, and an appreciable homogeneity was obtained in both longitudinal and transverse directi...
