AB Hard inclusions in the soft matrix are common in metal matrix composites. On the other hand, soft inclusions in the hard matrix can be found for instance in plastics like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). This work focuses on the finite element study of hard inclusions in the soft matrix and soft inclusions in the hard matrix. Equivalent von-Mises Stress and Equivalent plastic strain are evaluated. Hard inclusions in the soft matrix produces higher plastic deformation than soft inclusions in the hard matrix but stresses are higher for soft inclusions in the hard matrix than for soft inclusions in the hard matrix along with plastic deformatio
