Micromechanics of inelastic composites with misaligned inclusions: Numerical treatment of orientation

This paper is concerned with the micromechanics of multi-phase fiber- or inclusion-reinforced inelastic composites with a special emphasis on the numerical treatment of misaligned orientation. Mean-field homogenization of these composites involves volume and orientation averaging. The latter usually needs average orientation measures known as the second- and fourth-rank orientation tensors a and A, respectively. Usually the only orientation data...
