Continuum micro-mechanics of elastoplastic polycrystals

Abstract: T he internal inhomogeneities of stress and strain in an arbitrarily deformed aggregate of elasto-plastic crystals are evaluated theoretically. A tensor constitutive law of a general kind is assumed for the individual crystals. The implied mechanical properties of the aggregate as a whole are estimated by means of a self-consistent model akin to one used by H ershey (1954), K roner (1958, 1961) and B udiansky and W u (1962), but differing in significant respects.

Introduction to composite materials

Abstract: This module introduces basic concepts of stiffness and strength underlying the mechanics of fiber-reinforced advanced composite materials. This aspect of composite materials technology is sometimes terms “micromechanics,” because it deals with the relations between macroscopic engineering properties and the microscopic distribution of the material’s constituents, namely the volume fraction of fiber. This module will deal primarily with unidirectionally-reinforced continuous-fiber composites, and with properties measured along and transverse to the fiber direction.
