The constitutive equations of fiber reinforced metal matrix composites. (3rd report. The constitutive equations of laminated plates of FRM).

Abstract

The constitutive equations of laminated plates of FRM were derived. The previously proposed constitutive equations for unidirectionally fiber reinforced metals and laminate theory were used to derive the theory. The proposed theory is expected to describe the inelastic behavior of FRM and the strain rate sensitivity of stress-strain relations. The validity of the proposed constitutive equations was confirmed by comparing the calculated results with the experimental ones.
