Modeling of Material Behavior During Thermomechanical Processing January 2012-May 2012

Research Assistant

Made a comparative study on Johnson-Cook(JC), modified Zerilli-Armstrong(ZA) and Arrhenius type constitutive models on their capability to representing the elevated temperature flow behavior of Al5083-2%TiC.

Accuracy of these models so developed was evaluated by statistical parameters such as Mean Square Error(MSE) & Mean Absolute Error(MAE).

Comparison between the experimental and predicted results was plotted on the graphs using ANSYS and Excel.
