Uniform dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a key issue for utilization of their reinforcement\udpotential in CNT-reinforced metal matrix nanocomposites (MMNCs). It was reported that CNT clusters often\udexist in MMNCs prepared by various techniques, which reduces the load transfer efficiency between the matrix\udand reinforcement. In this paper, a new micromechanical constitutive model of CNT-reinforced MMNCs is\uddeveloped, which takes into account of the influences of CNT clusters and misorientations. The strength values\udof a CNT/Al nanocomposite predicted by the new model are compared first with experimental data for\udvalidation. Then, the developed model is applied to predict the size effect, temperature effect and strain rate\udeffect of the nanocomposite in its overall elastoplastic response
