Springer Plasticity and Beyond: Microstructures, Crystal-Plasticity and Phase Transitions: 550 (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences, 550)

This book presents the latest findings in experimental plasticity, crystal plasticity, phase transitions, advanced mathematical modeling of finite plasticity and multi-scale modeling, as well as contemporary applications in material design and processing. Review From the book reviews: “The present volume covers a wide spectrum of aspects pertaining to the analysis of elastoplastic behavior of materials, including the microstructure and scale effects. … The book is recommended for use by graduate students, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and researchers working in the above areas. The reviewer believes it to be a useful addition to the understanding and analysis of the complex elastoplastic behavior of materials.” (V. K. Arya, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2015) From the Back Cover The book presents the latest findings in experimental plasticity, crystal plasticity, phase transitions, advanced mathematical modeling of finite plasticity and multi-scale modeling. The associated algorithmic treatment is mainly based on finite element formulations for standard (local approach) as well as for non-standard (non-local approach) continua and for pure macroscopic as well as for directly coupled two-scale boundary value problems. Applications in the area of material design/processing are covered, ranging from grain boundary effects in polycrystals and phase transitions to deep-drawing of multiphase steels by directly taking into account random microstructures.
