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...

Spherical Indentation and Flow Property Measurement-Finite Element Simulation

Previous work by Au, Lucas, Sheckerd & Odette [1] and Haggag and Lucas [2] and others showed that ball indentation testing techniques can be used to evaluate flow properties. More recently Haggag et al [3] have extended and refined the general approach. This work is aimed at assessing the accuracy and reliability of this method based on finite element analysis (FEA) simulations of the ball inde...

Finite Element Simulation of Bone Microstructures

The geometric construction of finite element spaces suitable for complicated shapes or microstructured materials is discussed. As an application, the efficient computation of linearized elasticity is considered on them. Geometries are supposed to be implicitly described via 3D voxel data (e. g. μCT scans) associated with a cubic grid. We place degrees of freedom only at the grid nodes and incor...

Finite element simulation of two-point incremental forming of free-form parts

Two-point incremental forming method is considered a modern technique for manufacturing shell parts. The presence of bottom punch during the process makes this technique far more complex than its conventional counterpart i.e. single-point incremental forming method. Thus, the numerical simulation of this method is an essential task, which leads to the reduction of trial/error costs, predicts th...
