Modelling the flow processes of a particle reinforced metal matrix composite during machining

Modeling of machining of composite materials: A review

“…A number of attempts have been made in modeling of MMC machining [5][6][7][8][9]29,58,63]. In most cases, cutting speed does not significantly influence cutting forces.…”

“…These studies have primarily focused on 2-dimensional modeling of orthogonal cutting, which is not realistic for actual machining. The modeling work dealing with particulate reinforced composites has been focused on studying the failure at the particle-matrix interface [5], tool-particle interaction [6,7], residual stress and sub-surface damage [5,8]. In fiber reinforced composites numerical studies have been focused on predicting cutting forces in terms of fiber orientation and tool geometry [9] and sub-surface damage in terms of debonding only at the front face of fibers [10][11][12][13][14], or at both the rear and front faces of the fiber or fiber pullout and fiber damage [4].…”

Multi-scale modeling to predict sub-surface damage applied to laser-assisted machining of a particulate reinforced metal matrix composite

“…The modeling work has been focused on studying the failure at particle-matrix interface by Monaghan and Brazil (1998), and residual stresses with sub-surface damage by El- Gallab and Sklad (2004). In studying the tool-particle interaction, Zhu and Kishawy (2005) simulated the machining of alumina/aluminum 6061 MMC with a tungsten carbide tool, while Pramanik et al (2007) modeled the machining of a silicon carbide/aluminum 6061 MMC.…”

Investigation of Reinforced Sic Particles Percentage on Machining Force of Metal Matrix Composite

“…There are only few researches performed in machining of metal matrix composite by finite element software, because of its difficulties and complexity. Monaghan and Brazil (1998) modeled machining of Aluminum matrix composite by FORGE2 software with Elasto-Visco-plastic FEA code in advance and then micromechanical sub modeling was modeled by ANSYS software. Although, their studies include some commendable cases such as study on non-uniform matrix flow, particle-matrix interface failure, and residual stress in MMC due to thermal cycling and tool pressure, it wasn't able to illustrate tool-particle interaction due to machining, matrix debonding and pit holes of machined surface.…”
