1. Effective Properties of Composite Materials Objective of the Research: 2. To formulate equations for accurate prediction of the effective properties of composite materials. (Boyce M. et al: rubber particles to improve the toughness of the polymer) 1. By introducing small amount of inclusion phase to improved the bulk properties of the matrix.

1. We calculate the effective elastoplastic properties of composite material with an stiffer inclusion phase. The volume ratio of the inclusion is 0.2. 2. The shape of the inclusion phase has no effect on the effective tangent modulus of the material. 3. The triangular inclusion phase gives the highest maximum Von Mises stress in the matrix, and followed by the rectangular inclusion phase. The circular inclusion phase gives the most uniform stress distribution. 4. The hardening type of the composite is dominant by the matrix phase. Conclusion
