ABSTRACT

The diameters of the embedded cells are denominated as W1 and W2.

The stress-strain curves of the two-phase composite are determined from the matricity model in the same iterative manner as it is done for the simple selfconsistent embedded cell model: In each increment the components for stress and strain are determined. This is done by a weighted averaging of the stress and strain values over all integration points of both embedded cells in loading direction.
