Proceedings of the ASME International Mechanical EngineeringCongress and Exposition, November 5-10, 2000, Orlando, Florida. The10 contributed papers in this volume demonstrate the breadth ofcurrent research activity in constitutive modeling of materials. Avariety of theoretical, computational, and experimental approachesare reported covering elastic, viscoelastic, plastic, andsuperplastic mechancial behavior. Scope of materials treated isbroad, including polymers, ceramic powders, concrete, metals,textile yarns, and bone. @By: M.K. Khraisheh, T.A. Godfrey, andK.J. Willam
