Abstract:

The following topics were studied generalization of a set of constitutive equations to include thermal dependence of viscoplastic flow and thermal recovery of hardening, determination of the effective thermo-elastic-viscoplastic properties of metal matrix composites including the influence of residual thermal stresses, and the generalization of the constitutive equations to the case of large deformations. Publications based on the research program are listed.
