A CENTURY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Civil Engineering at the Crossroads in the Twenty-First Century

The twenty-first century presents a major challenge for civil engineering. The magnitude and future importance of some of the problems perceived by society are directly related to the field of the civil engineer, implying an inescapable burden of responsibility for a group whose technical soundness, rational approach and efficiency is highly valued and respected by the citizen. However, the sub...

Magnesium alloys exhibit complex deformation related mechanical behavior, viz. plastic anisotropy, tension-compression asymmetry and premature failure. Their origins are in the underlying heterogeneous deformation due to dislocation slip and deformation twinning on different crystallographic systems. The twin formations lead to microstructure evolution, strain localization and initiation of sho...
