A Study on the Prediction of Strength of Trimodal Composites

Abstract:

Particle-reinforced trimodal composites, which typically consist of three constituent phases where at least one phase forms itself a composite with ceramic particles, feature a length-scale-dependent strengthening. Joshi and Ramesh [1] presented a secant Mori–Tanaka method to describe the strength of trimodal composites. They, however, seem to have used excessively high strength by mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion between ultrafine-grained 5083 aluminum and B₄C particles. Since the ultrafine-grained 5083 aluminum features high strength, an additional enhancement of strength by this kind of thermoelastic mismatch between matrix and particle may hardly occur. Using finite-element methods with strain-gradient plasticity, this problem is examined computationally and an enhanced procedure of strength prediction for trimodal composites is suggested.
