Modelling and simulation techniques are now considered an essential practice for the
materials industry. In order to gain insight into factors that can affect the final properties of a …

In metal matrix composites, a metal is combined with another, often nonmetallic, phase to
produce a novel material having attractive engineering attributes of its own. A subject of …

To evaluate the effective mechanical properties of the composites with complicated micro-
structures, the RVE based FE homogenization method with the periodic boundary condition …

Following their discovery in the early 1960s, there has been a continuous quest for ways to
take advantage of the extraordinary properties of shape memory alloys (SMAs). These …

In the present report some basic issues of and some of the modeling strategies used for
studying static and quasistatic problems in continuum micromechanics of materials are …

In this paper, the incremental formulation for the mean-field homogenization (MFH) of elasto-
plastic composites is enriched by including second statistical moments of per-phase strain …

Abstract Evaluation of the elastic properties of self-compacting fibre-reinforced concrete is
one of the primary concerns in civil and structural engineering. This paper investigates the …

An original approach is proposed in order to compute the homogenized response of
composite materials with elasto-(visco) plastic constituents. The formulation is based on an …

An experimental-analytical model of homogenised elastic moduli of matrix composites has
been developed based on the Mori-Tanaka analytical model. The fitting parameter of the …

This paper presents a new micromechanical damage model, called “First Pseudo-Grain
Damage”(FPGD) model, to predict the overall elasto-plastic behavior and damage evolution …
