N2 - Object Oriented Finite Element Analysis (OOF2) is used to predict the thermal and mechanical properties of Al-MgO composites. In this work, three compositions of composites containing 5%, 10% and 15% MgO (by volume) are studied. The influence of MgO volume fraction is examined in terms of effective Young's modulus and coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites. In addition, the stress and strain contours are plotted, which are helpful to understand the mechanical behavior of these composites. It is noted that the properties of composites are improved because of the presence of MgO. However, local stresses increase with filler content.
