Special Session 2
PLASTICITY AND CONSTITUTIVE MODELLING (SS2)

This special session focuses on constitutive modelling of materials. Aspects such as new relationships, parameter identification, experimental methods and computational simulation are covered. The session is focused but not limited to non-linear behaviour (plasticity) and addresses further aspects such as visco-plasticity, behaviour under large strains/deformations etc.

Topics:

Materials Characterisation
Modelling and Simulation
Experimental Testing
Advanced Materials
