The fifth biennial workshop on 'Direct Methods' will be held in Oxford, UK on 6th to 8th September 2015. It follows on from previous successful workshops held in Aachen, Lille, Athens and Reggio Calabria (see http://www.iadime.unirc.it/ ).
Recent paper is Part-2 of the paper mentioned below

Mechanical responses and deformation mechanisms of an AZ31 Mg alloy sheet under dynamic and simple shear deformations
In this minisymposium we seek to highlight challenging problems in computational solid mechanics that require mesh adaptation methods for their solution. We focus on the finite element method and works that address large deformations and the accompanying inelasticity, damage, crack propagation and failure. Discussion will center on Lagrangian descriptions and determining the necessary computational components to resolve, preserve, and evolve the fields that govern these processes. Prototypical material systems may include, but are not limited to, ductile metals and biomaterials.
We would like to invite your contribution to Symposium #18: “Experiments and Constitutive Modelling of Materials in Advanced Forming Processes” in the upcoming ASME 2015 Applied Mechanics and Materials Conference, McMAT2015, to be held in Seattle on June 29-July 1, 2015.

Title of the project: Ab initio modeling of dislocations in body-centered cubic metals.
Research area: Solid State Physics, Material Science
Three newly identified cross-slip mechanisms from atomistic simulations of fcc crystals, namely surface, bulk and intersection cross-slip types, were hierarchically informed into discrete dislocation dynamics simulations. The influence of each cross-slip type on the evolution of the dislocation microstructure in face-centered cubic microcrystals having different crystal sizes and initial dislocation densities was investigated.
How obtain tension strain concrete(σt0) in damaged plasticity model in ABAQUS?
hello engineers
i need help about concrete damaged plasticity
fo example :
if Compressive stress (Fu)= 51.2 MPa
and tension stress (σ t)=0.3 x 51.2^(2/3)=4.136
1)why (σ t) is 2.36 in picture(uploaded)?
2)what is tension strain ? and how? i cant understand.
i cant obtain εt = total tensile strain.
how obtain εcr ?
please help
The attached notes are written for a course on plasticity. When I update the notes, I will post a link on my twitter account: https://twitter.com/zhigangsuo.
Dear Colleagues:
We are organizing a symposium titled "To Yield or Not to Yield: Multiscale Perspectives in Plasticity and Failure of Materials" at the 2015 Mach conference, which will be held in Annapolis, MD, USA during April 8-10, 2015. We cordially invite you to participate in the 2015 Mach Conference by giving a talk in our symposium.
