Materials Modelling: Theory, Computer Implementation, and Parameter Identification

Materials Modelling gives a theoretical overview of elastic, plastic, damage and fracture models, preparing the reader to use them to solve engineering materials problems. Particular attention is given to inverse analysis, parameter identification, and the numerical implementation of models with finite element method codes. Application in practice is discussed in detail, showing examples of working computer programs for simpler constitutive behaviors. The examples explore all the important components of material modeling, which form the building blocks of any complex constitutive behavior. Addresses complex behaviors in a wide range of materials, from polymers to metalsDuctile and brittle fracture are both coveredProvides detailed examples of computer implementation methods for the latest materials models INDICE: 1.
