Abstract

In this paper, the deformation behavior of the particle (SiC) reinforced A16092 matrix composite was modelled by a three-dimensional finite element method integrated with a multi-particle cell (MPC) model. The model contains a random dispersion of thirty identical elastic particles. The thermo-physical properties of the composite including thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion and tensile stress/strain relationship were determined by the MPC model. The predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results. The temperature and the strain/stress field of the composite during laser forming were analyzed, and the predicted bending angles are in reasonably good agreement with the published experimental results. The significance of the findings are also discussed in the paper.
