Call for Abstracts

Dear colleagues,

We are organizing a symposium on

Thermodynamic Modeling of Void Evolution, Fatigue, and Tribo-Wear

at the 19th U.S. National Congress on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, June 19-24, 2022, taking place in Austin, Texas, USA.

If you are working in the field of mechanics and use thermodynamics for modeling, you are cordially invited to submit your abstract to our symposium no later than December 18, 2021. For more information, please visit

Our new review article [open acess] on damage, void evolution, and fatigue life prediction models. We tried to include everything done in the last 20 years. My apologies if we missed your work.

Strain rate and temperature dependent elastic limit of mild steel is investigated by developing a dislocation incipient motion-based proportionality limit stress model. Temperature effect on strain energy of an edge dislocation is modeled by using unified mechanics theory. Unified mechanics theory-based index, called thermodynamic state index, is used to model thermally assisted degradation of strain energy. Kinetic energy due to thermal vibrations is added to the kinetic energy of an accelerating dislocation.
