Starting from the exact solution of heterogeneous linear viscoelastic Eshelby ellipsoidal inclusion problem obtained in time domain for an embedded isotropic matrix (Berbenni et al., 2015), a direct time-incremental homogenization Mori–Tanaka scheme two-phase non elasto-viscoplastic materials is proposed. The extension to non-linear behavior based on “modified secant” formulation obtain compari...

The subloading-friction model is capable of describing static friction, the smooth transition from static to kinetic friction and the recovery to static friction after sliding stops or sliding velocity decreases. This causes a negative rate sensitivity (i.e. a decrease in friction resistance with increasing sliding velocity). A generalized subloading-friction model is formulated in this article...
