Ítem Análisis y comparación entre el proceso de centrifugado e inyección para la fabricación de piezas en Zamac(Universidad EAFIT, 2008) Gallego Alzate, Andrés Felipe; Paniagua Villa, Marco AurelioÍtem Digital material laboratory: Wave propagation effects in open-cell aluminium foams(Elsevier, 2012-09) Saenger, E.H.; Uribe, D.; Jänicke, R.; Ruíz, O.; Steeb, H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Laboratorio CAD/CAM/CAEThis paper is concerned with numerical wave propagation effects in highly porous media using digitized images of aluminum foam -- Starting point is a virtual material laboratory approach -- The Aluminum foam microstructure is imaged by 3D X-ray tomography -- Effective velocities for the fluid-saturated media are derived by dynamic wave propagation simulations -- We apply a displacement-stress rotated staggered fnite-difference grid technique to solve the elastodynamic wave equation -- The used setup is similar to laboratory ultrasound measurements and the computed results are in agreement with our experimental data -- Theoretical investigations allow to quantify the influence of the interaction of foam and fluid during wave propagation – Together with simulations using an artificial dense foam we are able to determine the tortuosity of aluminum foamÍtem Estimation of large domain Al foam permeability by Finite Difference methods(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2013) Osorno, María; Steeb, Holger; Uribe, David; Ruíz, Óscar; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Laboratorio CAD/CAM/CAEClassical methods to calculate permeability of porous media have been proposed mainly for high density (e.g. granular) materials -- These methods present shortcomings in high porosity, i.e. high permeability media (e.g. metallic foams) -- While for dense materials permeability seems to be a function of bulk properties and occupancy averaged over the volume, for highly porous materials these parameters fail to predict it -- Several authors have attacked the problem by solving the Navier-Stokes equations for the pressure and velocity of a liquid flowing through a small domain (Ωs) of aluminium foam and by comparing the numerical results with experimental values (prediction error approx. 9%) -- In this article, we present calculations for much larger domains (ΩL) using the Finite Difference (FD) method, solving also for the pressure and velocity of a viscous liquid flowing through the Packed Spheres scenario -- The ratio Vol(ΩL)/Vol(Ωs) is around 103 -- The comparison of our results with the Packed Spheres example yields a prediction error of 5% for the intrinsic permeability -- Additionally, numerical permeability calculations have been performed for Al foam samples -- Our geometric modelling of the porous domain stems from 3D X-ray tomography, yielding voxel information, which is particularly appropriate for FD -- Ongoing work concerns the reduction in computing times of the FD method, consideration of other materials and fluids, and comparison with experimental dataÍtem Freeze casted porous ceramics(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Gil-Durán, Santiago; eossa@eafit.edu.coScientists have explored different manufacturing methods aiming at obtaining synthetic materials with controlled porosity, among them, Freeze Casting allows a control of the pore characteristics formed within the material by setting process variables like type of medium, particle size, solid content, inclusion of additives, freezing rate, etc. Despite of all the knowledge obtained about freeze casting, there still remain some questions to solve regarding processing-structure relationships, specifically the relations between cooling patterns during freezing and physical characteristics of the final material. The aim of this doctoral work is to understand the relations between cooling patterns during freezing and the structure at the macro and micro levels of the final freeze casted part. The current work comprises the development of a heat transfer model to efficiently and reliably predict the temperature evolution during freezing. In this way, it will be possible to recognize which are the process variables affecting the final pore morphology. The results of this work improved the fundamental knowledge of the process, serving as a tool to predict and control the microstructure obtained in the Freeze Casting process. The problem definition and goals of this work are presented in chapter 1. A brief description of the main literature on freeze casting is presented in chapter 2. The development of a numerical model that calculates the temperature distribution within the experiment domain was carried out in chapter 3. In chapter 4, an alumina tile was produced by freeze casting process in order to test the freezing device, coloidal suspension characteristics and sintering temperature of the sample. Additionally, an analytical model was proposed for predicting the thermal conductivity of the material. Chapter 5 evaluates the effect of solid content and freezing temperature on pore morphology and evaluates how these variables affect the temperature distribution within the experiment domain. Chapter 6 compares the steady solution of the numerical model and the pore morphology obtained experimentally under different process parameters. Finally, conclusions and future work for the study are presented in chapter 7.Ítem Numerical simulations toward validating undrained conditions in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering(Universidad EAFIT, 2016) Gómez Zuluaga, Jesús David; Restrepo Sánchez, Doriam LeidinLiquefaction denotes the loss of shear resistance of granular materials due to pore pressure build up during cyclic load -- Traditionally, liquefaction is considered as an undrained phenomenon -- Consequently, pore-fluid flow is deemed nonexistent during the cyclic response of sandy soils -- This paper aims to shed light on the validity of this hypothesis by examining the response of natural structures made of saturated porous material subjected to vertically incident plane waves -- The two porous structures, i.e., (i) an alluvial basin, and (ii) a surficial topography, are analyzed under single- and double-drainage regimes -- The results are obtained using a dynamic undrained formulation and compared against an u-p scheme -- This work provides evidence on the impact of drainage conditions, incident wavefront, frequency content, and type of natural structure, on the accuracy of the no volumetric change hypothesis -- On particular, our findings show that the undrained approach exhibits a better agreement for interior topography than for surficial irregularities -- Similarly, P-incident wavefronts tend to be better represented for the undrained hypothesis than SV incident waves -- Finally, our results prove that the undrained approximation provides better estimates for single-drainage conditions than for double-flow regimes
