INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY

该杂志的目的是报道对各向同性和各向异性固体的塑性变形、损伤和断裂行为的各个方面的原始研究，包括塑性和断裂热力学、连续介质理论、宏观和微观现象。感兴趣的主题包括单晶和多晶金属、陶瓷、岩石和土壤、复合材料、纳米晶和微电子材料、形状记忆合金、铁电陶瓷、薄膜和聚合物的塑性行为，以及失效和断裂力学的塑性方面。重要的实验、数值或理论贡献有助于理解固体的塑性行为，以及与固体微观行为有关的宏观研究具有特殊的意义。本文对有限非线性弹性变形的建模，与塑性变形的建模相似，也受到欢迎。杂志将包含研究论文、评论文章、研究笔记、给编辑的信以及学术广告(书籍、期刊、会议和专题讨论会)。应变速率相关和应变速率无关的本构模型，用于预测准静态、动态或循环热机械载荷、颗粒或多孔固体在高围压和高温下的行为、各种变形机制(位错、孪晶和相变)的多尺度建模、基于已知基体和纤维在此类材料中的塑性行为，可以预测复合材料行为的模型，是本杂志主题的一些例子。揭示新塑性模型的应用，包括对金属成形过程中观察到的现象进行建模，也很有意义。

The purpose of the journal is to report original research on all aspects of plastic deformation, damage and fracture behaviour of isotropic as well as anisotropic solids, including the thermodynamics of plasticity and fracture, continuum theory, and macroscopic as well as microscopic phenomena.The topics of interest include plastic behaviour of single crystals and polycrystalline metals, ceramics, rocks and soils, composites, nanocrystalline and microelectronics materials, shape memory alloys, ferroelectric ceramics, thin films and polymers, as well as plasticity aspects of failure and fracture mechanics. Significant experimental, numerical or theoretical contributions advancing the understanding of plastic behaviour of solids are of special interest, together with studies relating macroscopic to the microscopic behaviour of solids. Papers on modeling of finite nonlinear elastic deformation, with similarities to modeling of plastic deformation, are also welcome.The Journal will contain research papers, review articles, research notes, letters to the editor, and academic advertisements (books, journals, conferences, and symposia). Strain-rate dependent and strain-rate independent constitutive models to predict observed phemonena during quasi-static, dynamic or cyclic thermo-mechanical loading, behaviour of granular or porous solids under high confining pressures and at high temperatures, multiscale modeling of various deformation mechanisms (dislocation, twinning, and phase transformation), and models with capability for predicting the behaviour of composite materials based onknown plastic behaviour of matrix and fibers in such materials, are some examples of the main themes of this journal. Revealing applications of the new models of plasticity, including modelling of the observed phenomena in metal forming processes are also of interest.
