摘要
The influence of the free surface on the load carried by elastic inclusions embedded in an elastic-plastic matrix was investigated by the finite element method. A 2D multi-particle model was developed based on the statistical evaluation of the microstructure of a commercial metal-matrix composite. The results of simulated tensile tests show that the average particle stresses are sensitive to the adopted boundary conditions. Inclusions near a free boundary carry in general smaller loads than the inclusions in the bulk. Damage predictions of the model are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained by X-ray microtomography. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
