3D Microstructure-Based Finite Element Simulation of ColdSprayed Al-Al2O3 Composite Coatings Under Quasi-Static Compression and Indentation Loading
Download2021-07-27
Sayahlatifi, Saman, Shao, Chenwei, McDonald, André, Hogan, James D.
This study developed microstructure-based finite element (FE) models to investigate the behavior of cold-sprayed aluminum–alumina (Al-Al2O3) metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings subject to indentation and quasi-static compression loading. Based on microstructural features (i.e., particle weight...

Assessment of Blast Energy Usage and the Extent of Blast Damage in Hard Rock Open-pit Mines
DownloadFall 2024
Blasting fragmentation influences the cost and productivity of downstream processes such as loading, hauling, crushing, and milling. Interaction between the rock mass and explosive energy determines blast outcomes. This research aims to enhance the understanding of the blasting process by...
