Fourth International Conference on Constitutive Laws for Engineering Materials: Theory and Applications

第四届工程材料本构定律国际会议：材料力学中的理论与应用，本构方程是材料变形行为的数学描述，是解析和数值应力分析所必需的。不同的材料有不同的本构方程。本构方程的研究通常与机械、土木工程或其他领域有关。此前在亚利桑那大学举行的三次会议都以工程应用中几乎所有材料的本构方程为主题。后续会议计划于1999年夏天在伦斯勒理工学院校园举行。这一天也是由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）固体力学计划在RPI举办的非弹性本构方程研讨会25周年。这次讲习班的会议记录将作为衡量进展的标尺。特邀演讲者、研究生和博士后助理的旅费以及会议记录的出版费用将得到支持。其他费用包括公告、准备和会议组织，由注册费提供单独的预算。

Fourth International Conference on Constitutive Laws for Engineering Materials: Theory and Application In Mechanics of Materials, constitutive equations are the mathematical descriptions of material deformation behavior and are needed in analytical and numerical stress analyses. Different materials have different constitutive equations. Research in constitutive equations is usually associated with certain fields such as mechanical or civil engineering or others. Three previous conferences at the University of Arizona had constitutive equations of nearly all materials used in engineering applications as a theme. A follow-up conference is planned for summer of 1999 on the campus of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. This date also marks the 25th anniversary of a workshop on Inelastic Constitutive Equations held at RPI and sponsored by the Solid Mechanics Program of NSF. The proceedings of this workshop will serve as a gage for measuring progress. Support is sought for the travel expenses of invited speakers, graduate students and post-doctoral associates, and for publication of the proceedings. A separate budget financed by registration fees covers other expenses including announcements, preparation and conference organization.
