contents Noting that there is very little literature on the topic, a first analytical approach is proposed in this work for estimating the viscosity-like parameter of three-phase viscoplastic materials. In a first part, the conditions of application and the consequences of the three classical averaging equations involving the strain rates, the stresses and the power are reviewed for 2-phase mixtures and extended to three phases. The classical static and Taylor bounds as well as the heuristic ''Iso-strain rate'' assumption are analyzed. An extension of the Mori-Tanaka estimation to the three-phase case is then proposed for viscoplastic linear constituents. If the volume fraction of one of the phases (inclusions) is very low, in particular when its viscosity tends towards zero or infinity, fully analytical results are presented, which provides an extension of the classical dilute model.
