Challenges In Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials and Processes in Conventional and Multifunctional Materials, Volume 2: Proc

Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials and Processes in Conventional and Multifunctional Materials, Volume 2: Proceedings of the 2013 SEM Annual Conference& Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the second volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers in the following general technical research areas: Metallic, Polymeric and Composite MaterialsEffects of Extreme Environments including Radiation Resistance, Damage, and AgingChallenges in Time-dependent Behavior Modeling of Low, Moderate and High Strain RatesEffects of Frequency and Hysteretic HeatingEffects of Inhomogeneities on the Time-Dependent BehaviorComposite, Hybrid and Multifunctional Materials Challenges in Time-dependent Behavior Modeling Viscoelastoplasticity and DamageEffects of Interfaces and Interphases on the Time-Dependent BehaviorEnvironmental and Reactive Property Change Effects on Thermomechanical and Multifunctional BehaviorsModeling and Characterization of Fabrication Processes of Conventional and Multifunctional MaterialsTime-dependent and Small-scale Effects in Micro/Nano-scale TestingTime-dependent Processes in Biomaterials
