Time Dependent Materials
There are many problems in modern engineering practice that require a detailed knowledge of how materials respond to loads over extended periods of time in a variety of applications and designs. Metals, as well as soils and concrete, exhibit creep behavior under certain conditions and this phenomenon has been traditionally incorporated into engineering education and practice.
During the past few decades, polymers and their composites have increasingly entered the domain of engineering design. These are the time-dependent materials par excellence. Their inroads into mechanical engineering practice has multiplied the need for deepening of our understanding of the role of time-dependence in materials behavior.
The Division intends to include in its purview also other time-dependent materials such as metals and ceramics at high temperatures, as well as wood and soils. |

TIME DEPENDENT MATERIALS DIVISION - Updated May 2007
The accomplishments of the Time Dependent Materials TD are:
Hongbing Lu and Yasushi Miyano will chair the organized session titled "Time Dependent Constitutive Behavior" on 2006 SEM Annual Conference. We received 25 papers in total organized in 5 sessions. Finally, 21 papers were presented.
For 2007, the TD has the following action items:
1. Hongbing Lu and Yasushi Miyano will chair the organized session titled "Time Dependent Constitutive Behavior" on 2007 SEM Annual Conference. We will have 15 papers in this organized session.
2. Hongbing Lu and Raman Singh organized a session on “Micro/Nanoindentation of Time Dependent Materials”
3. Ioannis Chasiotis organized a session titled “Time Dependent Phenomena in Polymeric Micro- and Nanofibers” There are 4 papers in this session.
4. Richard Hall (WPAFB) is organizing the 6th International Conference on Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials (MTDM) in Monterey CA in 2008.
