Crushing and intrusion resistance improvement of aluminum beams by carbon/epoxy composite patches

Véronique Michaud, Jonathan Friedli, Mathieu Piccand, Baris Çaglar, Yann Albert Gérard Lebaupin

This study investigates the intrusion and crushing performance of hybrid fiber metal laminates based on aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced polymers, in comparison to reference aluminum parts, made from AA6451 or AA7075 automotive grade alloys. A first se ...

Dendritic Growth Morphologies in Al-Zn Alloys-Part II: Phase-Field Computations

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Jonathan Dantzig, Paolo Di Napoli

In Part I of this article, the role of the Zn content in the development of solidification microstructures in Al-Zn alloys was investigated experimentally using X-ray tomographic microscopy. The transition region between dendrites found at low Zn content a ...

Dendritic Growth Morphologies in Al-Zn Alloys-Part I: X-ray Tomographic Microscopy

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Paolo Di Napoli

Upon solidification, most metallic alloys form dendritic structures that grow along directions corresponding to low index crystal axes, e.g., directions in fcc aluminum. However, recent findings[1,2] have shown that an increase in the zinc content in Al-Zn ...

X-ray tomographic microscopy analysis of the dendrite orientation transition in Al-Zn

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Paolo Di Napoli

Recently, Gonzales and Rappaz [Met. Mat. Trans. A37:2797, 2006] showed the influence of an increasing zinc content on the growth directions of aluminum dendrites. < 100 > and < 110 > dendrites were observed below 25wt.% and above 55wt.% zinc, respectively, ...

Phase-field modeling of the dendrite orientation transition in Al-Zn alloys

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Jonathan Dantzig, Paolo Di Napoli

With a few exceptions, phase-field simulations of dendritic growth in cubic materials have been modeled using simple expressions for the interfacial energy anisotropy and with strong anisotropy. However, recent experimental results show that the Dendrite O ...

Interfacial Energy Anisotropy and Growth Morphologies in Aluminium-Zinc Alloys

Jonathan Friedli

This thesis presents an investigation aimed at the understanding of the effect of interfacial energy anisotropy on growth morphologies in Al-Zn alloys. Most low alloyed metals form dendritic structures that grow along directions that correspond to low inde ...

The influence of solid-liquid interfacial energy anisotropy on equilibrium shapes, nucleation, triple lines and growth morphologies

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Aurèle Mariaux, Mario Alberto Salgado Ordorica

The anisotropy of the solid-liquid interfacial energy plays a key role during the formation of as-solidified microstructures. Using the xi-vector formalism of Cahn and Hoffman, this contribution presents the effect that anisotropy has on the equilibrium sh ...

PHASE FIELD MODELING OF EQUILIBRIUM SHAPES AND GROWTH MORPHOLOGIES IN Al-Zn ALLOYS

Michel Rappaz, Jonathan Friedli, Aurèle Mariaux

The anisotropy of the solid-liquid interfacial energy, gamma(sl), plays a key role in the accurate prediction of growth morphologies in metallic alloys. This interfacial energy anisotropy can vary duo to alloy composition, especially when that of the pure ...
