“…Most commercial FEA software enables modelling of composite materials with reinforcements of any shape, size and spatial distribution. Curious studies on the estimation of effective elastic properties and durability of particlereinforced composites using FEM can be found, for example, in [30][31][32][33]. Many authors, for example [30][31][32][33], model particle -reinforced metal matrix composites as a 2D plane problem.…”

The work presented is related to determination of effective mechanical properties of a PRMMCs (particle reinforced metal matrix composites) composite. Such composites, because of their specific wear resistance (high-temperature work capability) and high strength properties compared to mass, are often used in many devices in industry and agriculture. The mechanical properties of the PRMMCs can be determined based on experimental research. However, since the volume fraction of the reinforcement and its geometry significantly affect the resulting mechanical properties of the composite, determining them through experimental research would require a lot of work and would involve high costs. So, there is a legitimate need to develop alternative methods. In the literature, one can find analytical models enabling the determination of limit values of such parameters as elastic moduli or Poisson's ratio. The authors usually assume a uniform distribution of reinforcement particles and do not take into account the effect of their size on the effective mechanical properties. An alternative method of homogenizing the properties of heterogeneous materials may be an approach based on the use of numerical methods. Therefore, the article presents a methodology for determining the effective mechanical properties of PRMMCs using the finite element method (FEM). The developed method enables determination of Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and density of composite, taking into account the impact of the random distribution of reinforcement particles, as well as their size and volume fraction. To verify the proposed approach, effective mechanical properties have been determined for a frequently used materialparticle -reinforced aluminium matrix composite (PRAMCs). The results obtained were compared with the literature data. The investigations show satisfactory compliance of the obtained results with both experimental data and analytical solution.

“…The voids join up to form micro-cracks and subsequent fracture along the shear band. Umer et al, [3] investigated different methodologies to model the orthogonal machining of Al/SiCp MMC and the local effects such as particles debonding have been modeled using heterogeneous workpiece model. Fathipour et al [4] validated the Finite Element model with the experimental results of turning of MMC for different volume fraction of reinforcement and found that the cutting speed is more effective on tangential force than the feed rate.…”

The application of Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) has been increasing due to its superior strength and wear characteristics but the major challenge is its poor machinability due to the presence of reinforcement in the matrix which is a hindrance during machining. The material behaviour during machining varies with respect to input variables. In this paper the effect of cutting speed during the orthogonal turning of A359/SiCp MMC with TiAlN tool insert is analysed by developing a 2D Finite Element (FE) model in Abaqus FEA code. The FE model is based on plane strain formulation and the element type used is coupled temperature displacement. The matrix material is modeled using Johnson–Cook (J-C) thermal elastic–plastic constitutive equation and chip separation is simulated using Johnson–Cook’s model for progressive damage and fracture with parting line. Particle material is considered to be perfectly elastic until brittle fracture. The tool is considered to be rigid. The FE model analyses the tool interaction with the MMC and its subsequent effects on cutting forces for different cutting speeds and feed rates. The chip formation and stress distribution are also studied. The FE results are validated with the experimental results at cutting speeds ranging from 72 – 188 m/min and feed rates ranging from 0.111 – 0.446 mm/rev at constant depth of cut of 0.5mm.
