Thermo-inelastic response of functionally graded composites

From MaRDI portal





A micromechanical theory for the thermo-elastic response of functionally graded composites is extended to include the inelastic and temperature-dependent response of the constituent phases and to couple explicitly local and global effects. The inelastic behavior of the matrix phase is modeled using two inelastic models, namely the Bodner-Partom unified viscoplasticity theory and the classical incremental plasticity theory. Results are presented that illustrate the differences between elastic and inelastic analyses, defining under what circumstances the inclusion of inelastic effects is important. Application of the theory to composites with thermal barrier coatings demonstrates the utility of the concept of internal temperature management through functional grading of the microstructure using differently-distributed particulate inclusions.
