Time-Dependent Materials

Organizer

SEM Time-Dependent Materials Technical Division

Description

The technical division on Time-Dependent Materials organizes sessions, keynote talks, and activities of interest to measure and model time-dependent mechanics of materials. Amorphous and crystalline polymers, crosslinked polymers, metals, polymer and metal matrix composites, and active matter such as dynamic bonds exhibit time dependence that impact advanced manufacturing, sustainability, reliability, or behavior in extreme environments. Our sessions address challenges in experimental, computational and mechanistic approaches to understand novel challenges in viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, damage, and fracture.

Now soliciting Time-Dependent Materials abstracts for the 2024 SEM Annual Conference. Topics in time-dependence include, but not limited to:

  • Data-driven and high-throughput methods
  • Sustainable materials and composites
  • Composites and interfaces
  • High temperature metals
  • Viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity, and polymer physics constitutive modeling
