60th Anniversary Symposium of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS Symposium 2019)
9th International Conference on Textile Composites and Inflatable Structures (Structural Membranes 2019)
The conference cover all aspects related to material, design, computation, construction, maintenance, history, environmental impact and sustainability of shell, spatial, tension and inflatable structures in all fields of application.
In addition to incorporating the Annual Symposium of the International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS), FORM and FORCE 2019 will be proposed as a Thematic Conference of the European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) and a Special Interest Conference of the International Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM).
A constitutive model that couples plasticity and damage is presented. The model is thermodynamically consistent and comes from a generalization of classical plasticity theory and isotropic damage theory of Kachanov. Coupling between plasticity and damage is achieved through a simultaneous solution of the plastic and the damage problem. After a description of the model, a numerical algorithm for the integration of the resulting constitutive equations is presented. It is an Euler Backward type of algorithm that is particularly suitable to solve plain stress non-linear problems with a 2D finite element program. The consistent stiffness matrix is also derived. The paper is completed with some application examples that show that the model presented accurately reproduces the behaviour of elastic-plastic-damaged materials.

Abstract
A constitutive model, based on large strain plasticity, for simulation of industrial powder compaction processes is presented. The elastic response is stated in terms of a hyperelastic model based on a hookean elastic free energy. Plastic response is defined in terms of a two parameter yield surface that evolves in terms of the relative density. Two different flow rules are considered and tested in front of some available experimental results. Application to the simulation of an actual powder-metallurgy compaction process is also shown.

Abstract
This paper represents an overview of the investigation pursued by the authors in the field of damage evaluation of concrete structures. A procedure to evaluate the damage of reinforced concrete structures subjected to static and dynamic actions has been developed, which is based on a local damage constitutive model using Kachanov’s theory. The constitutive model is used within a finite element frame, a non-linear Newmark-type tangent incremental time integration scheme is employed and finally, an overall global damage index, based on potential energy criteria, is developed and justified.
