The FIDEP2 (Finite-Difference code for Elastic-viscoplastic analysis) is a PC-compatible, user-friendly computer code developed in-house at the Materials Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The program is capable of predicting micromechanical stresses in metal matrix composites under complex thermal and mechanical loading histories. The FIDEP2 is a generalized version of the FIDEP program, which was limited by the concentric cylindrical geometry and elastic-plastic constitutive model. The FIDEP2 program incorporates different loading histories, micromechanical models, and constitutive models in a modular form to allow for easy implementation of new requirements. Operation of the FIDEP2 program is straightforward, requiring a loading history file and a material properties data file. Input data are in free format, and some descriptive titles are allowed. Do not return copies of this report unless contractual obligations or notice on a specific document requires its return.
