Wear behavior of Al 5252 alloy reinforced with micrometric and nanometric SiC particles

TL;DR: In this article, the dry sliding wear behavior of Al 5252 alloy and its composites reinforced with nanometric or micrometric SiC particles is studied, and the dominant wear mechanisms are determined using microstructural characterization, hardness measurement, EDS analysis as well as microscopic studies of wear surfaces and debris.

Thermoforming simulation of multilayer composites with continuous fibres and thermoplastic matrix

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation approach for thermoforming of multilayer thermoplastic is presented, where each prepreg layer is modelled by semi-discrete shell elements, considering the tension, inplane shear and bending behaviour of the ply at different temperatures around the fusion point.
