Nano-Mechanical Modeling of Thermoelastic Behavior of AA6061/Silicon Oxide Nanoparticulate Metal Matrix Composites

Chennakesava R Alavala

Abstract: The aim of the present work was to estimate non-linear thermoelastic behavior of three-phase AA6061/silicon oxide nanoparticle metal matrix composites. The RVE models were used to analyze thermo-elastic behavior using finite element analysis. The AA6061/silicon oxide metal matrix nanocomposites have lost the elastic modulus at high temperatures.
