Mechanical characteristics of open-cell AlSi10Mg materials and open-cell AlSi10Mg-SiC composites with varying pore sizes and strain rates

Description

This data file contains the raw and analyzed data of the mechanical properties of open-cell AlSi10Mg and AlSi10Mg-SiC materials with different pore sizes and strain rates. The materials were subjected to quasi-static compression loading up to 60% strain at strain rates of 0.01 and 0.001 s-1. The data file consists of three folders: Raw data, Analyzed data, and Python code. The Raw data folder contains TXT files with the information and numerical data of each tested specimen. The information includes the specimen designation, pre-load, test speed, type of compression modulus determination, and material. The numerical data includes the compressive strain, standard force, time, and work. The TXT files are named according to the specimen designation. The Analyzed data folder contains XLSX files with the stress-strain curves, energy absorption, and energy absorption efficiency characteristics of each specimen. The XLSX files also contain the calculated values of the plateau stress, plateau end stress, and plateau end strain for each specimen. The XLSX files are named according to the material type and strain rate testing condition. The Python code folder contains two subfolders: Input data and Output data. The Input data subfolder contains the XLSX file with the average stress-strain curves for all tested specimens. The Output data subfolder contains the PNG files with the plots of the stress-strain curves, energy absorption, and energy absorption efficiency for different material types and pore sizes. The Python code folder also contains the Python script that uses the matplotlib library to generate the plots from the input data. The specimen labels are based on the material type, pore size, and strain rate. For example, C 0.01 means open-cell AlSi10Mg material with pore size of 800-1000 μm and strain rate of 0.01 s-1. The other labels follow the same pattern: E for open-cell AlSi10Mg material with pore size of 1000-1200 μm, SC for open-cell AlSi10Mg-SiC composite with pore size of 800-1000 μm, and SE for open-cell AlSi10Mg-SiC composite with pore size of 1000-1200 μm.
