Advances in Engineering Plasticity and its Applications (AEPA '96)

AEPA '96 provides a forum for discussion on the state-of-art developments in plasticity. Anemphasis is placed on the close interaction of the theories from macroplasticity,mesoplasticity and microplasticity together with their applications in various engineeringdisciplines such as solid mechanics, metal forming, structural analysis, geo-mechanics andmicromechanics. These proceedings include over 140 papers from the conference includingcase studies showing applications of plasticity in inter-disciplinary or nonconventional areas.
