Nonlinear composite materials: Effective constitutive behavior and microstructure evolution

From MaRDI portal





This article is a review of some recent developments in the field of nonlinear composite materials. More precisely, it is an attempt to summarize and relate certain methods that have been developed over the past 10 years for estimating the effective, homogenized or overall constitutive behavior of composite materials with nonlinear constituents. In addition to their ability to handle constitutive nonlinearity, these homogenization methods have also been extended in a consistent fashion to account for geometric nonlinearity. In other words, they are able to incorporate the effect of changes in the microstructure, due to the presence of finite deformations, on the effective constitutive behavior of the composites. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0864.00042].
