TL;DR: In this paper, a micromechanics study is carried out for the high strain rate deformation of ceramic particle reinforced metal matrix composites, where the ceramic particles are taken to be elastic, equal-sized, spherical and uniformly distributed in the matrix.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors implemented the smeared crack band theory within the high-fidelity generalized method of cells micromechanics model to capture progressive failure within the constituents of a composite material while retaining objectivity with respect to the size of the discretization elements used in the model.

TL;DR: In this article, a short fuzzy fiber-reinforced composite reinforced with aligned short carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been analyzed and the effective elastic properties of the composite were compared with those predicted by the finite element (FE) method.

TL;DR: In this article, a micromechanical model for particle-toughened polystyrene (PS) is presented, which considers a representative volume element (RVE) of the two-phase material and includes special craze elements with nucleation and growth criteria based on experimental observations of CRAZE behavior in PS.

TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional finite-element analyses are used to assess the accuracy of simplified composite micromechanics equations (SME) for hygral, thermal, and mechanical properties of unidirectional composites with orthotropic fibers.
Abstract: Three-dimensional finite-element analyses are used to assess the accuracy of simplified composite micromechanics equations (SME) for hygral, thermal, and mechanical properties of unidirectional composites with orthotropic fibers. The properties predicted by the SME are in reasonably good agreement with those predicted by the three-dimensional finite-element analyses. This correlation demonstrates that the SME can be used with confidence in predicting the hygral, thermal, and mechanical behavior of unidirectional fiber composites.
