摘要
The modified equivalent inclusion theory by the authors and the internalvariable theory are employed to investigate the evolution of the microcracks in whiskertoughening ceramics and the influence of the microcracks on the mechanical propertiesof the material. The effect of residual thermostrain, whisker content and aspect ratio isconsidered. The modulus, initial nonlinear load, strength and nonlinear constitutiverelation are calculated and some important conclusions are given.
