TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating the average internal stress in the matrix of a material containing inclusions with transformation strain is presented. But the authors do not consider the effects of the interaction among the inclusions and of the presence of the free boundary.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory was developed to explain the work hardening behaviors of crystals with non-deforming inclusions, which predicts that the rate of workhardening will be linear, and that this rate will be nearly proportional to the volume fraction of the inclusions.

TL;DR: Work hardening of long range character for materials with strong inclusions was considered for the case in which plastic relaxation occurs by means of prismatic punching around the inclusions as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper , a strip-yield model modified to leave plastically deformed stretch in the wake of the advancing crack tip is applied to simulate the development of plasticity-induced crack closure with crack extension from precracks with various lengths under the stress ratio R = 0.

TL;DR: In this article , a strip-yield model modified to leave plastically deformed stretch in the wake of the advancing crack tip is applied to simulate the buildup of plasticity-induced crack closure with crack extension from precracks with various lengths under fully reversed loading.
