Abstract

A unified micromechanical model is proposed to predict the elasto-plastic properties of composite materials. The theory is based on the mean stress field and secant modulus concepts. The influence of the microstructural parameters on the composite elastic stiffness, yielding and strain hardening are analyzed in details. The modeling results agree well with experimental data given in literature.
