Abstract Scope |
As porous materials are studied, it becomes important to comprehend how the construction of the model representative volume elements (mRVEs) affects the overall elasticity. One of the main construction’s parameters is aspect ratio. When an mRVE is constructed from a seed geometry of spheres and conical frustums, the aspect ratio is defined as the height of a conical frustrum over the average diameter of the ligaments. This study aims to observe how the elasticity of the mRVEs are affected as a function of the aspect ratio. It was found that as the aspect ratio increases, the elasticity decreases. |
