Abstract: Composite materials and structures often exhibit thermal stresses and deformations due to their thermal expansion mismatch. For a layered laminate, the stress transfer mechanism involves both bending and interfacial shearing, ...

Abstract: To understand the inelastic behavior of functionally graded materials (FGMs) containing aluminum particles in high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a micromechanics-based elastoplastic model was developed. It was assumed that ...
