Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The 240 papers of this 2-volume proceedings were first presented at the 8th Asia-Pacific Symposium on Engineering Plasticity and its Applications (AEPA2006), held in September 2006 at Nagoya U. in Japan. In addition to the presentation of research by the international gathering of scientists, six plenary lectures are also featured, with topics that include discrete dislocation modeling of plastic flow processes, by a team of three scientists from the U.K., the U.S. and the Netherlands; and analyses of cavitation instabilities in ductile metals, by Viggo Tvergaard of the Technical U. of Denmark. Each of the papers includes an abstract, list of keywords, list of references, and b&w photos, graphs, tables, and additional images. The papers are grouped into 23 major subject areas that include rocks, polymers, stones and concretes, and shape memory alloys, among others.
