The Integration of Material, Process and Product Design: Proceedings of the conference on the 70th birthday of Dr Owen Richmond, Seven Springs, Penns., 19-20 October 1998

A major thrust and contribution of Dr Owen Richmond's research career has been to integrate Mechanics, Materials, Processing and Design, and hence the title of the proceedings. Six major areas are emphasized in this book: Crystal imperfections; Polycrystals and properties; Constitutive modeling; Plasticity and failure; Metal forming and casting processes; Process and product design.
