The paper reports on finite element method (FEM) analysis of Cu-SiC composites behaviour under cyclic loading conditions. In order to emphasise the influence of materials description on following results, there were two hardening rules used to describe the plastic behaviour of the matrix: (a) simple isotropic and (b) combined isotropic-kinematic. Reinforcing ceramics was assumed to be perfectly elastic. The analysis was carried out for Cu-SiC fibre-reinforced lamina composite. The fibre volume fracture was assumed to be 20%. The modelling was based on representative volume element (RVE) geometry. Additionally, the effect of thermal residual stresses was taken into account and its influence upon the Cu-SiC composite mechanical behaviour was clarified.
