Abstract: This paper presents a model of the dilatational response of fiber-reinforced composites for situations where the fibers interact with the matrix through a nonlinear interfacial separation mechanism. ...

Abstract: This paper treats the effective antiplane shear response of a composite consisting of fibers that interact with the matrix through nonlinear Needleman-type cohesive zones. The first paper (Part ...

Abstract: This paper treats the effective axial tension response of a composite consisting of fibers that debond from the matrix according to nonlinear Needleman-type cohesive zones. A second, related ...

Abstract: Uniaxial and multiaxial forms of a constitutive equation, characterizing the creep-damaging behavior of metals at elevated temperatures, are developed based on Dyson’s constrained cavity growth ...

Abstract: This paper is a finite element study of the nonuniform (necking) deformation of creep‐cavitating bars under constant load or constant load with superimposed hydrostatic pressure. The multiaxial constitutive model used in ...
