      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 ...

      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 ...
