Continuum Percolation in Stochastic Homogenization and the Effective Viscosity Problem

Mitia Duerinckx et al.

Summary: This paper addresses the effective viscosity problem of the steady Stokes system with a random array of rigid particles, focusing on the treatment of close particles. Instead of assuming moment assumptions on interparticle distances, the authors consider moment bounds on the size of clusters of close particles and construct correctors to prove homogenization. They also show that these bounds hold for various mixing particle distributions with nontrivial clustering using subcritical percolation techniques. Additionally, similar homogenization results are obtained for compressible and incompressible linear elasticity with unbounded random stiffness.

Multiscale modeling of CNT-based nanocomposites with soft/hard interphase effects

Yang Sun et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the investigation of the influence of soft/hard interphase effects on the macroscopic elasto-plastic response of nanocomposites with mono-/polydisperse CNTs. A multiscale framework is proposed based on an interphase model, field fluctuation method, and second-order stress moment. The developed model is validated through comparative analysis with experimental data. Detailed quantitative evaluations of parameters reveal the effects of major micromechanical variables on the effective elasto-plastic responses of CNTs-reinforced nanocomposites. Results indicate that the overall elasto-plastic responses of CNT-based nanocomposites depend on the volume fraction and stiffness of soft/hard interphase, as well as the geometrical size factor, aspect ratio, and size distribution of CNTs.

Mechanical performance of 3D printed polyether-ether-ketone nanocomposites: An experimental and analytic approach

Marianna Rinaldi et al.

Summary: In this study, PEEK nanocomposites with different amounts of CNT were 3D printed using fused filament fabrication. Analytical models were used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the composites and the combination of Takayanagi I and Takayanagi II models showed good accuracy in predicting the elastic modulus. However, these models were not able to accurately predict the mechanical behavior of 3D printed parts due to the influence of mechanical percolation and interphase strength between printed layers.

Percolation through voids around toroidal inclusions

A. Ballow et al.

Summary: In media with impermeable particles, fluid flows through voids around impenetrable grains. A critical grain concentration marks the percolation transition or phase boundary. With a dynamical infiltration technique, we calculate critical grain concentrations for randomly placed interpenetrating impermeable toroidal inclusions. As the radius of revolution increases, the tori develop a central hole and the critical porosity fraction for percolation shows a cusp.

Summary: A new theoretical model and its computational implementation in two dimensions for the study of continuum percolation phenomena have been presented. The model simulates a physical medium as an infinite grid of representative surface elements (RSEs) and uses a Monte Carlo iterative process to analyze the propagation ability of individual RSEs, with a critical propagation probability established for actual propagation to occur. The proposed methodology demonstrates robustness and applicability across a wide range of particle geometrical types and surface fractions.

Tailoring strength-ductility of titanium matrix composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets

Wei Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, graphene nanoplatelets reinforced titanium matrix composites were fabricated and their properties were adjusted through the addition of graphene nanoplatelets. The addition of graphene nanoplatelets resulted in a peculiar trend in which the ductility of the composites showed a hump type behavior while the strength increased monotonically. The humping ductility was attributed to the fine-grained matrix contributed by graphene nanoplatelets and in-situ generated titanium carbide. Further additions of graphene nanoplatelets led to the establishment of a network distribution of titanium carbide and graphene nanoplatelets, which resulted in a more uniform deformation and the formation of a near equiaxed fine-grained microstructure. However, excessive additions of titanium carbide and graphene nanoplatelets improved the strength but reduced the ductility due to their agglomeration.

Breaking through the strength-ductility trade-off in graphene reinforced Ti6Al4V composites

Summary: This study investigates the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of Ti6Al4V composites reinforced with graphene network (GN) through experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The embedded GN provides grain refinement, deformation compatibility, dislocation blocking, and crack restraint and bridging, leading to improved strength and ductility of the composites.

Summary: This theoretical study investigates continuum percolation of rod-like colloidal particles in the presence of axial and planar quadrupole fields.
