Abstract
The development and morphology of Al-9.37Cu alloy was characterized through metallographic
examination and failure rate. The alloy was obtained by employing Die -Casting Technique
before being subjected to series of mechanical and materials tests. The result showed that the
strength of Al9.37Cu was greatly enhanced when the alloy was under different percent of
deformations between 5-15%. Constitutive model was adopted to determine the isotropic
material property in which the plane stress and plain strain conditions were considered as
boundary conditions. Consequently, the effect of temperature was able to influence the strain rate
in which the fracture strain determined the failure rate of the Al-Cu alloy.
Description
This research is aimed at determining the effect of thermo-mechanical ageing experimentally and numerically on the Mechanical Properties of Al-Cu Alloy by formulating a model (constitutive) to determine the nodal value of certain parameters and to simulate the obtain results using Matlab (fematiso).
