Abstract: A micromechanical framework is presented to predict effective (overall) elasto-(visco-)plastic behavior of two-phase particle-reinforced metal matrix composites (PRMMC). In particular, the inclusion ...

Abstract: Statistical micromechanical formulations are presented to investigate effective elastic moduli of two-dimensional brittle solids with interacting slit microcracks. The macroscopic stress-strain relations ...

Abstract: In Part I of this series, basic formulations of stationary micromechanical theory and overall responses are presented for two-dimensional brittle solids with randomly dispersed microcracks. The ...
