Deep learning accelerated prediction of the permeability of fibrous microstructures

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Guillaume Clément Broggi

Permeability of fibrous microstructures is a key material property for predicting the mold fill times and resin flow path during composite manufacturing. In this work, we report an efficient approach to predict the permeability of 3D microstructures from d ...

Multiscale microshaping of functionally graded polymer-derived SiCN ceramics

Lorenz Hagelüken

Polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) exhibit excellent properties and are compatible with many shaping techniques due to the liquid character of the preceramic polymers (PCPs). Furthermore, their properties are adjustable by modifying the precursor composition ...

Liquid metal infiltration of silicon based alloys into porous carbonaceous materials. Part II: Experimental verification of modelling approaches by infiltration of Si-Zr alloy into idealized microchannels

Ludger Weber, Caroline Hain, Giovanni Bianchi, Alberto Ortona, Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

In this work, the mechanisms leading to the pore closure in reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of carbon by pure silicon and a near eutectic Si-8 at-pct Zr alloy at 1500 and 1700 degrees C under vacuum were studied. Various geometrical configurations of micr ...
