Nonlinear Mechanics of Fiber-reinforced Materials
The purpose of this symposium is to provide a forum for presenting ongoing research on the large-deformation behavior of engineered and biological fiber-reinforced materials. Topics range through theoretical foundations, modeling, computational methods and experimental techniques, with applications to composite material characterization and biomedical engineering. In particular, we encourage contributions in the areas of:
- Mechanical properties and behavior of fiber-reinforced materials in both engineering and biology
- Constitutive equations and theoretical modeling of anisotropic nonlinearly elastic solids
- Experimental characterization and validation of constitutive equations
- Instabilities, non-uniqueness, loss of ellipticity, discontinuous and non-smooth solutions
- Mechanics of adhesion and interfacial bonding in fiber composites
- Fracture, cavitation and failure processes
- Wave propagation analysis and non-destructive testing of fibrous materials, including soft biological tissues
- Growth of fibrous biological tissues and issues of stability
