Abstract: Some recent theoretical and experimental results on modeling of the inelastic behavior of composite materials are reviewed. The transformation field analysis method (G. J. Dvorak, Proc. R. Soc. ...

Abstract: Exact expressions are found for overall thermal expansion coefficients of a composite medium consisting of three perfectly-bonded transversely isotropic phases of cylindrical shape and arbitrary ...

Abstract: Simple, explicit formulae are derived for estimates of the effective elastic moduli of several multiphase composite materials with the Mori-Tanaka method. Specific results are given for composites ...

Abstract: This paper shows how the mechanics of elastic composite materials can be adapted to predict the basic creep of concrete with aging due to hydration. The prediction is made on the basis of the given composition of concrete, ...
