Present developments in materials science, mechanics and
engineering, as well as the demands of modern technology, result in
a new and growing interest in plasticity and in bordering domains
of the mechanical behavior of materials. This growing interest is
attested to by the success of both The International Journal of
Plasticity, which after its inception rapidly became the leading
journal for plasticity research, and the series ofInternational
Symposia on Plasticity and Its Current Applications, which is now
the premier international forum for plasticity research
dissemination. The First International Symposium on Plasticity and
Its Current Applications was conceived and organized by Professor
Akhtar S. Khan, and was held at the University of Oklahoma (Norman,
Oklahoma, USA) from July 30 to August 3, 1984. It was attended by
over one hundred scientists from fifteen countries. "Plasticity
'89: the Second International Symposium on Plasticity and Its
Current Applications" was held at Mie University (Tsu, Japan) from
July 31 to August 4, 1989; this symposium was co-chaired by
Professors Khan and Tokuda. The main emphasis of this meeting was
on dynamic plasticity and micromechanics, although it included
other aspects of plasticity as well. It was attended by over two
hundred researchers from twenty-three nations.
In 1978, the European Mechanics Committee and the French Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique agreed to the organization of
an Interna- tional Colloquium on the "Mechanical Behavior of
Anisotropic Solids". The meeting was held at Villard-de-Lans (near
Grenoble, France) from 19th to 22 nd June 1979. The Colloquium
considered mechanical aspects of the anisotropy of solids, both
initial and induced by permanent deformation, anisotropic hardening
and damage, oriented fissuration, etc. Topics concerned
mathematical, experimental and engineering aspects of the
anisotropy of metals, composites, soils and rocks. The aim of the
Colloquium was to bring together experimentalists, theoretecians
and engineers interested in various features of mechanical
anisotropy, in order to permit an interdisciplinary exchange of
understanding, experience and methods. A detailed description of
the scope, aim and proposed topics is contained in the Preface. The
announcement of the Colloquium attracted a large number of sub-
mitted contributions. Conforming with the principles of Euromech
Colloquia and of the Colloques Internationaux du CNRS, the accepted
contributions were limited to 50 communications. A general
description of the scientific program is to be found in the
Preface. Five general lectures gave state-of-the-art reports
concerning some areas of the behavior of anisotropic solids; the 50
communications were divided into 12 sessions dealing with specific
topics (see "Contents"). In order to facilitate subsequent contact
between the reader and the contributors, full addresses are given
in the "List of Authors".
Presents a collection of information for the selection and
improvement of suitable natural materials, the manufacturing of
artificial materials with adequate mechanical properties, the
optimization of forming processes, and the analysis and design of
engineering works and structures.
