Abstract
The work aimed to calculate the radiation biological shielding performance of particle reinforced metal matrix composite (PRMMCs) using more reasonable model instead of conventional Uniform Filling Model, also attempted to provide a basis for the radiation shielding optimal design of such materials. Firstly, RSA (Random Sequential Adsorption) Model and GRM (Grid Random Model) were established based on MATLAB and Monte Carlo Particle transport program MCNP, and then advantages and disadvantages of them were compared. Later, the influences of metal matrix type, particle (B4C) content, particle shape and particle shape parameters on the biological shielding performance of materials were calculated under different energy neutrons and different thickness shield using random models. Finally, the optimal aspect ratio of regular hexahedral B4C was calculated by Genetic Algorithm combined with MATLAB and MCNP. It indicated that GRM could be applied to radiation shielding calculation of PRMMCs.
