This article reviews continuum-based variational formulations for describing the elastic–
plastic deformation of anisotropic heterogeneous crystalline matter. These approaches …

Various multiscale methods are reviewed in the context of modelling mechanical and
thermomechanical responses of composites. They are developed both at the material level …

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 …

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 …

Written by the leading experts in computational materials science, this handy reference
concisely reviews the most important aspects of plasticity modeling: constitutive laws, phase …

Composite materials and structures are inherently inhomogeneous and anisotropic across
multiple scales. Multiscale modelling offers opportunities to understand the coupling of …

This paper presents a systematic experimental study of the relative contributions of the
martensite volume fraction, morphology and carbon content to the overall strength and …

This paper deals with mean-field Eshelby-based homogenization techniques for multi-phase
composites and focuses on three subjects which in our opinion deserved more attention …

Grain size reduction in single phase alloys is generally accompanied by a loss of ductility
related to a decrease in the strain hardening capacity. The flow behaviour of fine-grained …

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 …
