Abstract: The papers in this special edition came from lectures delivered at the Fifth International Conference on Materials Processing Defects (MPD-5) held at Cornell University July 18–20, 2007 at Cornell ...

Abstract: Texture evolution during friction stir welding of stainless steel was investigated using a polycrystal plasticity model together with a three-dimensional, thermomechanically coupled, finite element ...

Abstract: A methodology for computing residual stresses in forming operations is examined in which the elasticity is neglected during the loading phase of the operation. The elastic response is recovered ...

Abstract: The evolution of voids (damage) in friction stir welding processes was simulated using a void growth model that incorporates viscoplastic flow and strain hardening of incompressible materials ...

Abstract: A state variable constitutive model for the volumetric creep behavior of fine‐grained marine clay is presented. The form of the model is motivated by laboratory data for undisturbed illite. Model parameters are evaluated ...
