Synopsis

This volume contains the papers presented at the IUT AM Symposium of "Mesoscopic Dynamics of Fracture Process and Materials Strength", held in July 2003, at the Hotel Osaka Sun Palace, Osaka, Japan. The Symposium was proposed in 2001, aiming at organizing concentrated discussions on current understanding of fracture process and inhomogeneous deformation governing the materials strength with emphasis on the mesoscopic dynamics associated with evolutional mechanical behaviour under micro/macro mutual interaction. The decision of the General Assembly of International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUT AM) to accept our proposal was well-timed and attracted attention. Driven by the development of new theoretical and computational techniques, various novel challenges to investigate the mesoscopic dynamics have been actively done recently, including large-scaled 3D atomistic simulations, discrete dislocation dynamics and other micro/mesoscopic computational analyses. The Symposium attracted sixty-six participants from eight countries, and forty­ two papers were presented. The presentations comprised a wide variety of fundamental subjects of physics, mechanical models, computational strategies as well as engineering applications. Among the subjects, discussed are (a) dislocation patterning, (b) crystal plasticity, (c) characteristic fracture of amorphous/nanocrystal, (d) nano-indentation, (e) ductile-brittle transition, (f) ab-initio calculation, (g) computational methodology for multi-scale analysis and others.

Synopsis

This Volume is the Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium on Mesoscopic Dynamics of Fracture Process and Materials Strength, held at Osaka in 2003. It contains 41 papers by acknowledged experts covering innovative researches in the current solid mechanics field. The material deals with several topics related to: Discrete Dislocation Dynamics; Dislocation Patterning; Large-scaled Molecular Dynamics Simulations; Ab-initio Calculations; Multiscale Modeling of Plasticity; Concurrent Modeling coupled with Finite Element Method; Crystal Plasticity; Fracture and Deformation Problems of Amorphous Materials, Semiconductor Materials and Nano-crystalline Materials. This volume will be of interest to research workers and graduate course students in theoretical and computational solid mechanics. In particular, those engaged in developing computational schemes and modeling the strongly scale-dependent phenomena, will find some of their current problems considered in this volume.
