Here, we compare two material models with our proposed model. The first material<br />

is an alum<strong>in</strong>um alloy particle-re<strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>ced composite. The fibers are prolate spheroids<br />

with aspect ratio equal to 3.0 (i.e. ζ = 3.0). In this paper, the authors proposed<br />

an elastoplastic damage model to predict the partial debond<strong>in</strong>g process of metal<br />

matrix composites under elastoplastic de<strong>for</strong>mation [12]. The govern<strong>in</strong>g parameter<br />

of the damage process is the average particle stress. That is, once the average particle<br />

stress atta<strong>in</strong>ed to a certa<strong>in</strong> level, the evolution of damage starts. Note that the only<br />

difference between the model <strong>in</strong> Ju and Lee’s and Ju, Liu and Sun’s papers is the<br />

consideration of the partial debond<strong>in</strong>g evolution. However, the damage evolution is<br />

governed by the Weibull statistics <strong>in</strong> both cases. In addition, Ju, Liu and Sun also<br />

compared their model to experimental data provided <strong>in</strong> Papazian and Adler’s paper.<br />

In this simulation, we will employ the GPM algorithm to <strong>in</strong>tegrate the govern<strong>in</strong>g<br />

TFA equations us<strong>in</strong>g both the von-Mises and Gurson’s yield criterion. Only the<br />

isotropic harden<strong>in</strong>g rule is considered. The material properties of the composite are<br />

given <strong>in</strong> Table 10.1 and the results are presented <strong>in</strong> Fig. 10.4.<br />

The second material is a SiC particulate-re<strong>in</strong><strong>for</strong>ced 5456 alum<strong>in</strong>um alloy composite<br />

used <strong>in</strong> Papazian and Adler’s experimental results. The <strong>in</strong>clusion shape is<br />

assumed to be spherical. The material properties of the composites are given <strong>in</strong><br />

Table 10.1 and the results are plotted <strong>in</strong> Fig. 10.5.
