Micromechanics of deformation in short fiber or whisker-reinforced metal matrix composites

The objective of this dissertation is to provide, for a fiber reinforced MMC, an understanding of the evolution of strains as a result of thermo-mechanical loadings and the relationship of the deformation evolution to microstructural factors. Both analytical and finite element approaches were used t...
