The present study involved development of copper-based metal matrix composite, reinforced with waste EN 31 steel chips and TiB2 ceramic particles. Waste EN 31 steel chips and TiB2 ceramic particles were ball-milled for 100 h to obtain a single entity. The composite material was produced with a stir-casting technique, followed by a squeeze pressure process. The addition of Cu + 10 wt% of waste steel chips + 5 wt% of TiB2 improved the tensile strength of the copper matrix by about 68.35%. Furthermore, the addition of Cu + 5 wt% of waste steel chips + 10 wt% of TiB2 and Cu + 12.5 wt% of waste steel chips + 2.5 wt% of TiB2 increased the hardness and toughness of the copper matrix by about 133.33% and 28.57%, respectively. The addition of Cu + 10 wt% waste steel chips + 5 wt% of TiB2 ensured minimal corrosion weight loss in the metal matrix composite as a result of low porosity and a strong bond between the molecules. Further, representative volume element (size: 225 × 225 × 225 nm)-based finite element analysis was done to explain the micro-mechanical deformation, interfacial strength of matrix-particle interaction and damage behavior of Cu + 10 wt% of waste steel chips + 5 wt% of TiB2 metal matrix composite. A user material sub-routine model was also written and implemented with the help of FORTRAN subroutines to simulate the macro-mechanical tension test process of Cu + 10 wt% waste steel chips + 5 wt%TiB2 metal matrix composite. The results revealed a good agreement between the micro-mechanical and macro-mechanical finite element analysis models on the one hand and the experimental results on the other. Further, the representative volume element (with matrix and particles) showed about 59% and 66.5% higher tensile strength compared to the matrix–particle interface and the matrix (without particles), respectively. The percentage difference between the micro-mechanical finite element analysis and the experiments as well as the macro-mechanical finite element analysis and the experiments was found to be 5.58% and 9.64%, respectively. The finite element analysis results established that the waste steel chip powder particles exhibited greater stress than the TiB2 powder particles.

“…The CZM constants used in this study are presented in Table 3. For Al-MMC composites, the CZM constants have been reported in different ranges in the previous studies (Ref 13,[59][60][61][62]. For example, the reported values for the interface strength vary from a quantity on the order of MPa (Ref 61) to GPa ( Ref 62).…”

This study developed microstructure-based finite element (FE) models to investigate the behavior of cold-sprayed aluminum–alumina (Al-Al 2 O 3 ) metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings subject to indentation and quasi-static compression loading. Based on microstructural features (i.e., particle weight fraction, particle size, and porosity) of the MMC coatings, 3D representative volume elements (RVEs) were generated by using Digimat software and then imported into ABAQUS/Explicit. State-of-the-art physics-based modeling approaches were incorporated into the model to account for particle cracking, interface debonding, and ductile failure of the matrix. This allowed for analysis and informing on the deformation and failure responses. The model was validated with experimental results for cold-sprayed Al-34 wt.% Al 2 O 3 and Al-46 wt.% Al 2 O 3 metal matrix composite coatings under quasi-static compression by comparing the stress versus strain histories and observed failure mechanisms (e.g., matrix ductile failure). The results showed that the computational framework is able to capture the response of this cold-sprayed material system under compression and indentation, both qualitatively and quantitatively. The outcomes of this work have implications for extending the model to materials design and for applications involving different types of loading in real-world application (e.g., erosion and fatigue).

“…In recent years, polymer matrix composites [1] and metal matrix composites [2] are being extensively used in all engineering fields. Among the polymer matrix composites, natural fiber reinforced composites were preferred because of low cost, biodegradable nature, effective mechanical properties, low density, energy recovery, enhanced CO 2 sequestration, reduced respiratory irritation and good tribological behavior.…”

The application spectrum of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites has been increasing tremendously because of enhanced tribologicalbehavior. The present study investigates the wear and coefficient of friction of castor oil fiber reinforced composites for developing as new tribo-material. Composites with 40 vol.% with short fiber length of 5mm were fabricated by hand lay-up method. The tribology tests were performed with pin on disc tribometer at normal loads (15N, 30N & 45N) and sliding distances (1000m, 2000m & 3000m). A fuzzy logic model has been developed to predict and analyze the wear and friction characteristics at unknown test cases. Each input variable was divided into three linguistic variables and each output variable was divided into five linguistic variables. A triangular membership function was used for defining all the variables. The capabilities of fuzzy logic model were tested by confirmatory experiments. The model predicted the wear results with an error of 3.12% and coefficient of friction by 2.19%.
