      Parameter estimation for semi-solid aluminum alloys using transient experiments 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Georgiou, Georgios C.; Tonmukayakul, N.; Apelian, D. (2006)
      A rotating vane-cup rheometer is used to determine the rheological properties of semi-solid slurries, and a procedure is established for characterizing the rheology with emphasis given to the proper and self-consistent ...

      Thermo-fluid modeling of direct chill casting of metal alloys using an inverse finite element method 

      Alexandrou, Andreas N.; Battisti, T. (Publ by Computational Mechanics Inc, 1992)
      Direct chill (DC) casting is used extensively in the production of wrought nonferrous metals and alloys, particularly in the aluminum industry. For alloys, a semi-solid region known as the “mushy zone” and defined by the ...

      Yield behavior of commercial Al-Si alloys in the semisolid state 

      Pan, Q. Y.; Apelian, D.; Alexandrou, Andreas N. (2004)
      Systematic experimental work and modeling efforts have been conducted to characterize the yield behavior of commercial aluminum alloys in the semisolid state. In this study, extensive compression experiments were performed ...
