Static Response of Al-Ni-Co Alloy Particles in Reinforced Composite Materials
Particle-reinforced composite materials can be prepared by incorporating Al-Ni-Co alloy into the metal matrix and applied in aerospace and other fields.This paper aims to provide theoretical and simulation results for Al-Ni-Co alloy microsphere particle considering thermoelectric and surface effects within an elastic matrix.Based on the non-local elasticity theory,coupled interface theory,and eigenvalue method,the control equation for Al-Ni-Co alloy microsphere particle under external load is derived.The obtained theoretical results for responses are accompanied by corresponding finite element simulation results.Through numerical examples,the effects of temperature changes,non-local parameters,and surface properties on static responses in the mechanical and electric fields are revealed.The results indicate that Al-Ni-Co alloy microsphere particle can enhance the mechanical properties of the matrix.Consequently,the results in this paper contribute remarkably to the design and evaluation of particle-reinforced composite materials.
