The Effect of Evolving Damage on the Finite Strain Response of Inelastic and Viscoelastic Composites

A finite strain micromechanical model is generalized in order to incorporate the effect of evolving damage in the metallic and polymeric phases of unidirectional compostes. As a result, it is possible to predict the response of composites with ductile and brittle phases undergoing large coupled inela...
