TLDR
In this paper, the mean stress and strain in the matrix of such materials, and for the workhardening caused by the mean stresses are taken into account, and the theoretical hardening rate is less than the observed value, but the theory is demonstrated to have considerable empirical value in predicting the initial hardening rates in dispersionhardened metals, over-aged precipitation-hardened alloys and fibre-reinforced metal composites.

The application of the eshelby method of internal stress determination to short fibre metal matrix composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Eshelby equivalent inclusion approach to provide a rigorous theoretical basis for the prediction of the mechanical properties of short fiber composites, and the equivalent inclusion construction which is central to this method is described in detail.

Average stress in matrix and average elastic energy of materials with misfitting inclusions

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.

The work-hardening of copper-silica

TL;DR: In this article, a study by transmission electron microscopy of plastic relxation at undeformable spherical silica particles in a matrix of copper which has undergone plastic deformation leads to an understanding of the dislocation processes involved.

The hardening of crystals by non-deforming particles and fibres

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.

The hardening of metal crystals by precipitate particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of the hardening effect of precipitate particles is computed in terms of a model in which the precipitate particle cause the dislocations from activated Frank-Read sources to form closed loops about the particles.
