Nano-composite FEM Modelling in ABAQUS

This video shows how a nano-composite material can be modelled within ABAQUS FEM software. Here, we are using a metal matrix composite with a Silicon Carbide (SiC) particle - modelled as circular shapes within a matrix medium of aluminium alloy.

Dr Okereke; 🙋‍♂
How to generate a random distribution of particles and grains in a microstructure (min 7:00 ) . Thank you for the great videos . 👌🙏

The video is very interesting and helpful but what happens when the nanoparticles cannot be detected in the matrix. For example if the nanoparticles melt and combine with the matrix. How would one model that?

Dear Dr. Michael Okereke, have you done any modelling of the metal matrix composite using cohesive elements on the interface? thanks

[mustafakhalil]

thank you Dr Michael, why its not fail or cracked ?

Nice and informative video. Sir i want to know that how we can perform the tensile strength simulation of the woven nanocomposite? One thing i thought that firstly we will compute homogenized properties in microscale rve( fibre and matrix) and then move towards meso scale rve (microscale homogenized properties are provided to yarn in mesoscale) and compute homogenized properties in mesoscale. After that, move towards macroscale and make a laminated woven composite with each lamina properties as mesoscale rve. After that how can we simulate the tensile strength of that woven composite so that my simulation stress strain curve matches with experimental. Thanks in advance.

It is an interesting video and I would like to ask you something more related to the second part of this video but I can't comment there as I didn't find the comment section. Is there is any way to get strain stress curve directly from Abaqus instead of getting displacement and force and turn them to strain stress curve by Excel as you have shown in the second video. Thanks in advance

In this video no any small-size effect is considered at nano/micro scale. In other words, this computational model can be employed directly for a continuous structure (beam/bridge) at macro scale. Please provide clear explanations on how the nanoscale effects of the CNTs have been taken into account in the current FEM-based approach

In this, you have modeled 10 micro meter size RVE as just 10 (and not 0.01) and later while inputting material properties are you adjusting that ?

hi sir i am mechniacal engg and also m tech in material science i want learn more about nano material composite design and fem analysis can tell more about software and tools

Can we model graphene nanoparticles in carbon fiber composite using abacus
