Abstract In this paper, we present the analysis of an interpenetrating metal ceramic composite structure. We introduce a new generation algorithm for modeling microstructures with connected, spherical cavities embedded into open-porous foam The method uses geometric ansatz and is designed to create structures special topology, as investigated consisting connected AlSi10Mg phase showing shapes A...

The effect of the modes compaction a carbon-aluminum composite wire preform on its microstructure, properties, and nature fracture has been studied. It is shown that with an increase in temperature, load, holding time, volume fraction pores decreases, fiber increases, which leads to strength. In all cases, shape surface indicates brittle fracture.

Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is a manufacturing process that involves injection of liquid resin into a closed mold cavity containing preset fiber mats and a subsequent curing stage. Mold filling is a crucial stage for quality part productions. In order to automate production and minimize the formation of defects, control of mold filling is needed. In this paper, direct adaptive control strategy...

A continuum sensitivity method is developed for thermoplasticity combined with ductile damage at finite strains. The computed sensitivity fields are used within a gradient-based optimization framework for the computational design of metal forming processes for porous materials. The accuracy and effectiveness of the developed updated Lagrangian finite element analysis and design techniques are d...
