Co-Continuous Ceramic Composites, referred to as C4, have bi-continuous, interconnected and interpenetrating phases of a metal and ceramic. This bestows such composites with a higher strength to weight ratio compared with traditional composites. In this research work, a C4 composite of AA5083/SiC is fabricated for personal body armour, using gravity infiltration technique. A numerical simulatio...

This study presents a numerical investigation on the deformation of the circular blanket against a male die under impulsive loading to form a torispherical heads shape. A finite element model was developed and verified with experimental tests for the explosive forming of the torispherical heads made of AA5083 aluminum alloy in the framework of LS-DYNA crash simulator software. The nature of the...

In the current research, influence of multi-pass friction stir welding and SiC microparticles on tensile strength, microhardness, %strain dissimilar reinforced joints AA6082 AA5083 was examined. A tool rotating speed 900 rpm, a transverse 45 mm/min, tilt angle 2º 8% volume percentage were considered as parameters for FSW. The finding demonstrated that increasing number FSW passes from one to th...

Abstract Anisotropy plays a significant role in engineering, especially the field of sheet metal forming. This particular characteristic stems mainly from crystallographic structure metals and influence rolling process, inducing preferred orientations grains. In this context, crystal plasticity theory an important as it accounts for anisotropic nature elastic tensor orientation dependencies def...
