Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to the International Workshop on Plasticity, Damage and Fracture of Engineering Materials, which will take place in Ankara, Turkey on 22-23 August 2019. The deadlines for abstract and full paper submissions are April 19 and June 17 2019,respectively.
I hope some of you may find this work interesting. We show, analytically and numerically, that strain gradient plasticity predicts the existence of an inner elastic field adjacent to the crack tip, reminiscent of a dislocation-free zone. The fact that elastic strains dominate plastic strains near the crack tip implies a paradigm-shift with respect to previous crack tip asymptotic studies in plasticity and gradient plasticity, which neglect elastic strains.

Discussion of fracture paper #41 - Are dislocations good or bad guys? It depends!
Around Shifting from macroscopic to microscopic plasticity helps us understand mechanisms that can help us develop high-strength metallic materials. Things that prevent dislocation dynamics or generation, such as other dislocations and grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials, lead to higher strength.t...
