Constitutive Modeling of Engineering Materialsprovides an extensive theoretical overview of elastic, plastic, damage, and fracture models, giving readers the foundational knowledge needed to successfully apply them to and solve common engineering material problems. Particular attention is given to inverse analysis, parameter identification, and the numerical implementation of models with the finite element method. Application in practice is discussed in detail, showing examples of working computer programs for simple constitutive behaviors. Examples explore 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 metals and shape memory alloysCovers constitutive models with both small and large deformationsProvides detailed examples of computer implementations for material models | Constitutive Modeling Of Engineering Materials by Vladimir Buljak, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
