Abstract: A theoretical study is given of viscoelastic microbuckling of fiber composites. The analysis is formulated in terms of general linear viscoelastic behavior within the kink band. Material outside ...

Abstract: The roles of multiaxial loading and creep in compressive failure of aligned fiber composites are considered. Analytical models are developed based on the model given by Budiansky and Fleck ...

Abstract: This paper deals with an analysis of the size effect on the flow strength of metal-matrix composites due to the presence of geometrically necessary dislocations. The work is based upon a cell ...
