Description
The purpose of the journal is to report original research on all aspects of plastic deformation, damage and
fracture behaviour of isotropic as well as anisotropic solids, including the thermodynamics of plasticity and fracture, continuum theory,
and macroscopic as well as microscopic phenomena. The topics of interest include plastic behaviour of single crystals and polycrystalline
metals, ceramics, rocks and soils, composites, nanocrystalline and microelectronics materials, shape memory alloys, ferroelectric ceramics,
thin films and polymers, as well as plasticity aspects of failure and fracture mechanics. Significant experimental, numerical or theoretical
contributions advancing the understanding of plastic behaviour of solids are of special interest, together with studies relating macroscopic
to the microscopic behaviour of solids. Papers on modeling of finite nonlinear elastic deformation, with similarities to modeling of
plastic deformation, are also welcome.
The Journal will contain research papers, review articles, research notes, letters to the
editor, and academic advertisements (books, journals, conferences, and symposia). Strain-rate dependent and strain-rate independent
constitutive models to predict observed phemonena during quasi-static, dynamic or cyclic thermo-mechanical loading, behaviour of granular
or porous solids under high confining pressures and at high temperatures, multiscale modeling of various deformation mechanisms (dislocation,
twinning, and phase transformation), and models with capability for predicting the behaviour of composite materials based onknown plastic
behaviour of matrix and fibers in such materials, are some examples of the main themes of this journal. Revealing applications of the
new models of plasticity, including modelling of the observed phenomena in metal forming processes are also of interest.
