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 …

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

The demand for environmentally friendly materials is at its peak, and government
legislations have become stricter and no longer tolerate violations. With biocomposites …

This paper deals with the prediction of the macroscopic behavior of a multiphase elastic–
viscoplastic material. The proposed homogenization schemes are based on an interaction …

A non-local method for the establishment of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND)
based on a non-local domain integral has been developed and incorporated into crystal …

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 …

We propose a general formulation–which we believe to be new–for the mean-field
homogenization of inclusion-reinforced elasto-viscoplastic composites assuming small …

The effective mechanical behavior of an elasto-plastic matrix reinforced with a random and
homogeneous distribution of aligned elastic ellipsoids was obtained by the finite element …

A micromechanical constitutive model is constructed to describe the grain size dependent
thermo-mechanically coupled inelastic deformation of polycrystalline super-elastic NiTi …

In this study, a novel model for simulating strength and fracture energy reductions based on
the stress and strain histories of a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) ply is developed …
