Nonlinear homogenization of metal‐ceramic composites with lamellar microstructure

Abstract

Using nonlinear homogenization methods for the computation of the material response of metal-ceramic composites with lamellar microstructure is a power approach to do computation less costly in comparison to finite elements modeling. A modified secant homogenization method is utilized in this study for simulation of inelastic behaviors of the composite microconstituents. A nonlinear homogenization method is based on a linear homogenization scheme for multilayer composites.
