The present conference discusses thermomechanical response prediction for metal-matrix composites (MMCs), the effect of the matrix constitutive model on MMC residual thermal stresses, high temperature gradient effects on laminate stiffness and stress distribution, a micromechanical thermal stress analysis for space structure composites, and the mechanical behavior of SCS-6/Ti-6-4 MMC at elevated temperature. Also discussed are the computational micromechanics of woven composites, a macroscopic strength criterion for tridirectional fiber composites, the effects of heat flow on stress singularities at the interface crack, the ductility of a continuous fiber-reinforced Al-matrix MMC, the thermal buckling of symmetrically laminated composite plates, and the interfacial mechanics of SiC fiber reinforced reaction-bonded Si3N4.
