Abstract

This paper deals with a body that has a random 3D-distribution of two phase inclusions: spheroidal mutually parallel voids, and differently oriented reinforcing parallel stiff spheroidal short fibers. By the effective field approach the effective stiffness fourth order tensor is formulated and found numerically. Simultaneous and sequential embeddings of inclusions are compared. Damage evolution is described by a modified Vakulenko approach to the endochronic thermodynamics. A brief account of the problem of effective elastic symmetry is considered. The results of the theory are applied to the damage-elasto-viscoplastic strain of a reactor stainless steel AISI 316H.
