Abstract:

An elasto-plastic, temperature-dependent analysis of a graphitealuminum composite material system was performed. A hexagonal array model was utilized along with a numerical analysis procedure. Results for the transversely isotropic material included residual processing effects and stresses, and temperature dependent, one-dimensional stress-strain relations, utilizing both isotropic hardening and kinematic hardening assumptions for aluminum matrix.
