Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

Efficient deployment of composites necessitates robust modelling approaches for
homogenization and micromechanics calculations. Mean field homogenization (MFH) …

We investigate numerically via finite element (FE) simulations and analytically the nonlinear
behavior of a soft matrix comprising a large volume fraction (up to 55%) of monodisperse …

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 …

In this paper, an extended Mori-Tanaka (MT) model was proposed to evaluate effective
stiffnesses of wavy carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites with interface damage. The …

There are four primary factors which influence the macroscopic constitutive response of
particle reinforced composites: component properties, component concentrations …

Both effective properties of composite and the stresses in the individual inclusions and in the
matrix are necessary for modelling damage in short fibre composites. Mean field theorems …

This paper deals with the micromechanical modeling of particle reinforced elasto-plastic
composites under general non-monotonic loading histories. Incremental mean-field (MF) …

In this study, a novel approach for generating Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) is
introduced. In contrast to common generators, the new RVE generator is based on discrete …

Two analytical approaches are developed to determine the overall size-dependent
response of composites embedding general interfaces. The first approach extends the …
