      Mathematical and computational modeling of die filling in semisolid metal processing 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Bardinet, F.; Loué, W. (1999)
      A 'Bingham type', or Herschel-Bulkley constitutive relation capable of describing correctly the bulk behavior of the semisolid slurry is introduced. This relation is implemented in a modified version of the casting simulation ...

      Numerical simulation of die filling in semisolid metal processing 

      Bardinet, F.; Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Loue, Willem (Affiliation: WPI, Worcester, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Bardinet, FrancoisWPI, Worcester, United States, 1997)
      Semisolid Metal Processing offers distinct advantages over other near-net-shape technologies, such as a more homogeneous microstructure, less porosity and thus excellent mechanical properties. A perfect control of die ...

      On the early breakdown of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, Georgios C. (2007)
      Semisolid materials are suspensions of metal alloys which are processed while in a mushy state. In this state, the suspensions behave as viscoplastic materials with time-dependent material properties. During processing, ...

      On the modeling of semisolid suspensions 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2008)
      Due to the distinct rheology of semisolid slurries the process has well established advantages over competing near-net-shape manufacturing technologies. Despite the obvious advantages of the process its adoption by the ...

      Three dimensional flow of thixotropic materials in a channel with a sudden expansion using a phenomenological constitutive relation 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N. (Affiliation: WPI, Worcester, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Alexandrou, Andreas N.WPI, Worcester, United States, 1996)
      A constitutive relation is proposed that is capable of predicting a wide range of experimental rheological behavior depending on the proper choice of the parameters. The model represents the otherwise discontinuous Bingham ...
