Deformation and Fracture of Engineering Materials

 

Organized by

 

Dr. Chi T. Liu

 

The objective of this session is to share information on deformation and fracture in engineering materials. Topics of particular interest include, but not limited to, deformation, damage, and fracture mechanisms on different length scales, modeling of constitutive and fracture behavior, and non-destructive testing & evaluation.
