A crystal plasticity model for metal matrix composites considering thermal mismatch stress induced dislocations and twins

Abstract Originated at heterogeneous interfaces with distinct coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), thermal mismatch stress is one of the critical influential factors to mechanical properties of metal matrix composites (MMCs). This stress is normally accommodated plastically by various defects, fo...
