The primary objective of the Asia-Pacific Conference on Engineering Plasticity and Its Applications (AEPA) is to provide a free forum for exchanging ideas and introducing the latest research findings in the field of engineering plasticity. This conference is unique among the related conferences in that it provides a forum for all fields of plasticity so that multi-disciplinary research works are encouraged. This proceedings volume consists of papers presented at AEPA2008, and covers the following categories in all fields of engineering plasticity: constitutive modeling; damage, fracture, fatigue and failure; dynamic loading and crash dynamics; engineering applications and case studies; experimental and numerical techniques; molecular dynamics; nano, meso, micro and crystal plasticity; phase transformations; plastic instability and strain localization; plasticity in advanced materials; plasticity in materials processing technology; plasticity in tribology; porous, cellular and composite materials; structural plasticity; superplasticity; and time-dependent deformation. Ranging from nanoscale to macroscale applications of engineering plasticity, this book touches upon fields as diverse as mechanical engineering, materials science, physics, chemistry and civil engineering.

AEPA 2002 Proceedings of the 6th Asia-Pacific Symposium on Engineering Plasticity and Its Applications, Sydney, Australia, December 2-6, 2002

These proceedings comprise 139 papers presented at the 6th Asia-Pacific Symposium on Engineering Plasticity and Its Applications (AEPA2002), held from the 2nd to the 6th of December 2002 at the University of Sydney, Australia. They will bring the reader up-to-date with the latest research effort on a broad range of fronts in engineering plasticity; at scales ranging from nano- to macro-. The specific subjects, discussed here in detail, include constitutive modeling, damage and fracture mechanisms, dynamics and rate-dependent behaviors, energy absorption, fatigue and cyclic loading, forming, machining, micro-characterization, nano-mechanics, phase transformations, polymer and composite behaviors, strength, deformation, structural stability and superplasticity. This book is an essential reference for those working in the field.

This book offers a current state of the art in analysis and modeling of creep phenomena with applications to the structural mechanics. It presents the some presentations from the IUTAM-Symposium series "Creep in Structures", which held in Magdeburg (Germany) in September 2023, and it discusses many advances and new results in the field. These are for example: interlinks of mechanics with materials science in multi-scale analysis of deformation and damage mechanisms over a wide range of stresses and temperature; development and analysis of new alloys for (ultra)high-temperature applications; formulation and calibration of advanced constitutive models of inelastic behavior under transient loading and temperature conditions; development of efficient procedures and machine learning techniques for identification of material parameters in advanced constitutive laws; introduction of gradient-enhanced and non-local theories to account for damage and fracture processes; and application of new experimental methods, such as digital image correlation, for the analysis of inelastic deformation under multi-axial stress state.
