Abstract

During the past four decades, the research efforts of investigating the mechanical response behaviour of engineering materials, under various types of loading, have been ultimately significant. The interpretations and applications of mechanical response data have simulated powerful advances in research interest and in engineering practice. In this context, widespread research work on the subject has established well-profound concepts, principles and results.
