INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY

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.
