... Several micromechanical models that are currently being used for predicting the thermal and mechanical behavior of a cross-ply, [0/90], titanium matrix composite are evaluated. Six computer programs or methods are compared: (1) VISCOPLY; (2) METCAN; (3) FIDEP, an enhanced concentric cylinder...

... A micromechanical model is employed to investigate parameters that affect the rate of local plastic strain in and around persistent slip bands in cyclically loaded metals. The model utilizes a solution of the stress field in a semi-infinite elastic-plastic medium under generalized plane...
