Meshless methods: A review and computer implementation aspects
Prager's Hardening Rule
Hi all
I am currently investigating Prager hardening room which is stated as the simplist linear kinematic hardening rule. I was wondering if anyone has worked with this model and if so if you have managed to identify how to determine the constant used for the back stress equation
dα =C * dεp ( this is epsilon dot p which is the equivalent plastic strain)
Please can you let me know how to determine the constant C from experimental results?

Journal of Applied Mechanics (ASME Transactions) now publishes very fast.
Journal of Applied Mechanics (JAM) received 526 submitted manuscripts in 2013. Among them 4 are still in review.
The average time for the 1st round of review, with the decision to accept, or reject, or revise, is 18 days. After the 1st round of review, the average time to make the final decision is 34 days, which include both the authors' revision time and 2nd (and more) round(s) of review.
After acceptane the uneditted manuscript appears online with the assigned DOI within 48 hours.

An elastic phase field model for thermal oxidation of metals: Application to zirconia

Abstacrt: A multi-phase field model was developed for non-selective oxidation of metals which captures both the oxidation kinetics and stress generation. Phase field formulation involved a non-conserved phase field variable as the marker for the metallic substrate, oxide scale, and a fluid phase containing oxygen, and a conserved phase field variable representing the concentration of oxygen.
