Special Issue on Advances in Computational Plasticity

Guest Editors: C. Agelet de Saracibar, M. Chiumenti, D. Peric, E. de Souza Neto

This special issue will publish full-length versions of selected papers presented at the Computational Plasticity Conference, COMPLAS 2023, held in Barcelona on 5-7 September 2023. Participants of the conference are encourage to submit. The issue is focussed on recent advances in Computational Plasticity and related areas , ranging from general modelling of dissipative materials and processes, and associated computational methods, all the way through to advanced multi-scale techniques and latest developments in the use of Data Science/Data-driven approaches and Artificial Intelligence in this context. This special issue aims to disseminate the most relevant recent advances in these fields with a view to promote their application in industrial practice and encourage their critical appraisal and further healthy discussions both in academia and industry.

List of topic areas:

• Constitutive modelling of dissipative materials;
• Computational material design;
• Damage, fracture, fatigue and failure mechanics;
• Geomechanics and Geoscience;
• Biomechanics;
