| description | Previous results reported that SiCp (Silicon Carbide particles) particle doping proved to be effective in enhancing the wear performance of WE43 magnesium alloy. In this work, finite element simulation was employed to investigate the effect of SiCp particle shape on the mechanical behaviors of SiCp/WE43 magnesium matrix composites. SiCp particles underwent larger load internally and a smaller plastic deformation under tensile loading, leading to the enhanced strength and stiffness of the composites. Polygonal SiCp particles provided a better enhancement in strength for the composites than round SiCp particles, but the enhancement in stiffness was opposite. Meanwhile, the damage is likely to initiate at the interface between the matrix and particle, at the location of the highest stress concentration. This phenomenon was more prominent in polygonal particle-reinforced composites. These current findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the effect of SiCp particle shape on the mechanical behaviors of magnesium matrix composites. |
