Research, development, and application of new methods of nondestructive testing (NDT) and evaluation (NDE) of materials and structures.


The 16th International Conference on Nonlinear Elasticity in Materials

Conference - Prague, June 5–11, 2011

Summary
Dynamic nonlinear elastic behavior, nonequilibrium dynamics, first observed as a curiosity in earth materials has now been observed in a great variety of solids. The primary manifestations of the behavior are characteristic wave distortion, and slow dynamics, a recovery process to equilibrium that takes place linearly with the logarithm of time, over hours to days after a wave disturbance.  »»»
