Abstract

Nowadays, experimental and simulation investigations are of importance in industrial design. The influence of volume fractions and boundary conditions on the effective properties of Al/Ni composites is studied in this paper. The composites with modified microstructure were manufactured through a roll bonding process. The microstructural characterizations showed that the elliptical Ni fragments were uniformly distributed within the matrix. Furthermore, the perfect bonding of layers without cracks and voids was achieved. Also, despite the reduction in elongation, with an increase in the volume fraction of Ni, there was an improvement in the elastic modulus, yield, and ultimate strengths of composites. Next, a series of computational experiments were carried out to estimate the elastic properties of composites by using both microstructure-based and artificial RVEs subjected to linear displacement boundary condition (LDBC) and periodic displacement boundary condition (PDBC). The random sequential adsorption (RSA) method was used to automatically generate the artificial RVEs in which the Ni fragments were randomly distributed and were not overlapped. However, the most striking result to emerge from the finite element analysis is that both RVEs could give a successful prediction of the actual macroscopic behavior of the composite. Furthermore, the predicted results of both LDBC and PDBC were relatively similar to the experimentally-obtained ones.
