I can answer questions related to the processing of aluminum metal matrix composites, specially by pressureless infiltration method. I can also answer on the role of reinforcement phases with respect to physical properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity and elastic modulus by sound velocity

I don't understand what BC and what loading you want. I understand you don't want warping constraint. That is easy. Warping produces axial displacements when the bean is under torsion. Just let the axial
