Computational simulation of a diffusion process of carbon nanotubes in aluminium to improve the mechanical properties of a composite material
[摘要] A computational thermo-mechanical insertion model was implemented considering the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into semisolid aluminium. A shell surface of CNTs within an aluminium matrix was obtained using the Particles Dynamic Method (PDM). Also, energy absorption simulations were performed through computational impact tests in order to characterize the behaviour of the nanocomposite under high strain rates. Theoretical results are useful in the design of nanocomposites and the experimental processing of Al/CNTs nanocomposites for different applications.
