Semisolid metal (SSM) processingis a relatively new technology for metal forming. Different
from the conventional metal forming technologies which use either solid metals (solid state …

Dynamic Plasticity discusses the problems encountered in the theory of dynamic
deformation of plastic bodies. The book describes one-dimensional problems involving a …

Owing to its low cost, short process and low energy consumption, semi-solid processing
(SSP) of aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg) alloys has been considered as a competitive …

Compacted granular materials expand in response to shear, and can exhibit different
behaviour from that of the solids, liquids and gases of which they are composed. Application …

Semi-solid deformation mechanisms are important in a range of manufacturing and natural
phenomena, which range from squeeze casting to magma flows. Using fast synchrotron X …

A two-phase continuum model for an isotropic mushy zone is presented. The model is based
upon the general volume-averaged conservation equations, and quantities associated with …

The rheological behavior of a solidifying alloy is modeled by considering the deforming
material as a viscoplastic porous medium saturated with liquid. Since the solid grains in the …

A two-phase mathematical model for the study of hot tearing formation is presented. The
model accounts for the main phenomena associated with the formation of hot tears, ie, the …

To improve the knowledge on the rheology of sheet molding compounds (SMC) during
compression molding, a specific rheometer was designed, allowing to perform …

A funnel-type mold is commonly used to provide necessary clearance for the submerged
entry nozzle in the thin slab casting (TSC). The partially solidified shell is subjected to the …
