Finite Element Simulation of Impact on Metal Plate

Experimental and Finite Element Simulation of Nano-indentation on Metal Matrix Composites: Hardness Prediction

The scientific importance of nanocomposites are being increased due to their improvedproperties. This paper is divided into two parts. First, Al-Al2O3 nanocomposite wasproduced by using ball milling technique followed by cold compaction and sintering.Microstructure and morphology studies were done through SEM, TEM, and EDX anal-ysis on the produced powder. The mechanical properties of the produ...

Finite Element Simulation of Metal–Semiconductor–Metal Photodetector

LLE Review, Volume 119 154 Introduction Low-temperature–grown GaAs (LT-GaAs), deposited by molecular beam epitaxy, has been known for its ultrashort, subpicosecond photocarrier lifetime and relatively high carrier mobility. Therefore, in recent years LT-GaAs has been the material of choice for the fabrication of photonic devices such as photoconductive switches,1,2 both of the metal–semiconduct...

Finite Element Thin Plate

Thin plate splines have been used successfully to model curves and surfaces. A new application is in data mining where they are used to model interaction terms. These interaction splines break the \curse of di-mensionality" by reducing the high-dimensional nonparametric regression problem to the determination of a set of interdependent surfaces. However , the determination of the corresponding ...

Application of Finite Element Simulation in Metal Forming Tribology

The impact of numerical methods, particularly, the Finite Element Method (FEM), in providing tribological information relevant for lubricant formulations and general study of tribological variables is discussed. FEA was used to study surface evolution at the tool-workpiece interface for tube hydroforming and forging processes. The study has demonstrated that material properties, geometric compl...
