Abstract
The main objective of the work is to study the fracture behaviour of AA6061-Silicon Carbide material using finite element method. Fracture toughness analysis of AA6061-Silicon Carbide composite has been carried out using finite element methods. Modelling of compact tension specimens was utilized to analyze the fracture toughness using the ANSYS tool. From the results of the comparison, it is recommended that AA6061-9 wt% silicon carbide particulate composite material can be potentially utilized as a replacement of AA6061 in the aerospace application such as helicopter rotor blades.
