Session description

Difficulties in predicting materials instability such as localization and fracture impose challenges to up-and-coming manufacturing process, and also in integration of new alloys and composites materials in engineering structures. This session is intended to provide a forum for researchers to discuss the constitutive response and roles of evolving intrinsic field variables to provide kinematic, kinetic and dynamic descriptions of materials instability such as localization and crack nucleation and propagation through solids. The focus is to investigate the fundamental mechanisms and physics of materials instability under various static and dynamic loadings at different length-scales and time-scale. 

Abstracts are solicited in (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Fundamental roles of length-scales, time-scales under different loading conditions as they affect mechanical response
  • Novel experimental and computational toolsets that can provide new paradigm for bridging length-scales and time-scales
  • Constitutive response of deformation and failure supported by experimental observations and analysis.
  • Micro-structural evolution and macroscopic instabilities
  • Crack nucleation and propagation at different length-scales and its interaction with microstructure
  • Damage prediction and prevention
