Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials and Processes in Conventional and Multifunctional Materials, Volume 2: Proceedings of the 2013 SEM Annual Conference& Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the second volume of eight from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering.  The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers in the following general technical research areas:

Metallic, Polymeric and Composite Materials

Effects of Extreme Environments including Radiation Resistance, Damage, and Aging

Challenges in Time-dependent Behavior Modeling of Low, Moderate and High Strain Rates

Effects of Frequency and Hysteretic Heating

Effects of Inhomogeneities on the Time-Dependent Behavior

Composite, Hybrid and Multifunctional Materials

Challenges in Time-dependent Behavior Modeling Viscoelastoplasticity and Damage

Effects of Interfaces and Interphases on the Time-Dependent Behavior

Environmental and Reactive Property Change Effects on Thermomechanical and Multifunctional Behaviors

Modeling and Characterization of Fabrication Processes of Conventional and Multifunctional Materials
