Abstract

Significance of application of metal matrix composites (MMCs) in various industries has already been demonstrated. In order to address the challenges faced during machining MMCs, development of novel modeling techniques for understanding the mechanics of the process is crucial. This paper presents a new approach towards finite element modeling of MMC machining process to facilitate the analysis of plastic deformations. Transient Lagrangian modeling is used with adaptive remeshing control in order to reduce the effects of mesh distortions on accurate estimation of plastic deformation during machining. The thorough understanding of MMC plastic deformations, which is achieved using the developed model, is an asset in analysis of MMC behavior during the process.
