Abstract

A visco-plastic rate-dependent homogenization theory for particle-reinforced composites was derived and the equivalent elastic constants and the equivalent visco-plastic parameters of these composites were obtained. A framework of homogenization theory for particle-reinforced W-Ni-Fe composites, a kind of tungsten alloy, was established. Based on the homogenization theory and a fixed-point iteration method, a unit cell model with typical microstructures of the composite was established by using dynamic analysis program. The effects of tungsten content, tungsten particle shape and particle size and interface strength on the mechanical properties and the crack propagation of the W-Ni-Fe composite are analyzed under quasi-static and dynamic loadings. The stress-strain curves of the composite are given and the relation between the macro-mechanical characteristics and the microstructure parameters is explored, which provides an important theoretical basis for the optimization of the W-Ni-Fe composites.
