+Mean-field homogenization codes developed for visco-elastic-visco-plastic heterogeneous materials. 
+Two methods have been developed:
+1) Integral-affine formulation in directory affinistan
+2) Incremental-secant formulation in directory secantmfh
+
+
+The theory related to the methods is detailed in the publication: M. Haddad, I. Doghri, O. Pierard "Viscoelastic-Viscoplastic polymer composites: development and evaluation of two very dissimilar mean-field homogenization models." International Journal of Solids and Structures, 236-237 (2022),111354.
