Proceedings of 14th European Mechanics of Materials Conference - EMMC14

Edited book, 2014

This volume contains the abstracts presented at the 14th European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC14), held at Chalmers, Göteborg, Sweden, on September 27-29, 2014. The ever increasing development of new engineering materials required to meet advanced technological needs poses new challenges in the field of mechanics of materials. Therefore, the aim of EMMC14 is to bring together researchers, working in various fields of material mechanics and with different backgrounds, to further spread the knowledge and ideas of material mechanics. Mathematical modeling, computational methods and experimental techniques are included. Recent developments that have taken place in the material mechanics field are reflected by the contents of the papers of in these proceedings. The conference has attracted approximately 250 contributions formulated in 6 parallel sessions over three days.
