The Numerical Simulation of Effective Elastic Response for WC-Co Cemented Carbide

摘要

By the use of finite element method, we predict the effects of the shapes of reinforcements phase (Co) with different content on the effective elastic response for WC-Co cemented carbide. A comparative study on the material properties is conducted obtained through theoretical model, numerical simulation and experimental observations. Simulation results indicate that the finite element method is more accurate than the theoretical prediction.
