✦ Synopsis

Defects arising in both bulk and sheet forming operations on metals, polymers and composite materials will be considered. Appropriate methods for explaining and avoiding the occurrence of defects leading to fracture, high porosity or strain localization and undesirable geometrical imperfections and also elastic springback are of major current interest and practical significance.

The recent advances in finite plasticity and vis~oplasticity, damage modelling, bif~cation and instability theory, fracture mechanics and computer numerical techniques offer new tools for the prediction of defects.

The present Conference aims to focus on these topics and to provide a forum for presentation and exchange of innovative approaches in this field.

Papers are invited on topics outlined above and others which lie within the general scope of the Conference.
