Iutam Symposium on Creep in Structures Proceedings of the Iutam Symposium Held in Nagoya, Japan, 3-7 April 2000

This is the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Creep in Structures, held at Nagoya, 3-7 April 2000, which is the 5th one of this series of the IUTAM Symposia organized every then years since 1960. The present Proceedings contains 48 innovative papers presented at the 5th Symposium, in which 91 participants from 15 countries participated to consolidate the development of creep research since 1990 and to discuss the new horizons in this fundamental field of applied mechanics in the coming century. The papers contained deal with (1) physical and microstructural process of creep, viscoplasticity and creep damage related to their modeling, (2) elaborated constitutive equations of time-dependent deformation and damage, (3) creep damage and fracture of engineering materials and structures, (4) computational modeling, simulation, analysis and design of structures in creep, and (5) creep of polymers, composites, and heterogeneous materials. This volume is useful for researchers and graduate course students in the relevant fields.IUTAM Symposium Staff is the author of 'Iutam Symposium on Creep in Structures Proceedings of the Iutam Symposium Held in Nagoya, Japan, 3-7 April 2000' with ISBN 9780792367376 and ISBN 0792367375.
