Secrets of Plasticity and Ductile Fracture for Metals
I. Course Overview
This lecture series is given by many leading researchers (including three academicians) from Germany, France, Romania, Japan, USA, South Korea and China, aiming to summarize the phenomena of plasticity and ductile fracture of metals and their constitutive modeling methods by 18 invited talks. The scope of these talks includes advanced experimental techniques, classical and novel constitutive models, and cutting-edge plastic forming processes. The lecture series will introduce anisotropic plastic deformation, strength differential effect, kinematic hardening, Bauschinger effect, hydrostatic pressure effect, yield surface evolution, kinematic hardening, anisotropic hardening, forming limit, damage, ductile fracture, strain rate effect, machine learning, advanced aluminum extrusion technology, incremental forming, etc.

He was a member in the scientific committee of over 100 international conferences and chaired two conferences. He received the "Traian Vuia" award of the Romanian Academy and “Star of Romania” National Order (in 2016) of the Romanian President (Highest awards in Romania). He was President of the Board of Directors of ESAFORM. Prof. Banabic is a Fellow of The Romanian Academy, CIRP and the Academy of Technical Sciences of Romania.
Professor A. Erman Tekkaya
Dr. A. Erman Tekkaya is professor and the director of the Institute for Metal Forming and Lightweight Components (IUL) at the TU Dortmund University. His research interests cover fundamentals and technology of novel metal forming processes as well as material characterization for modelling the material behavior during plastic deformations. Dr. Tekkaya received the International Prize for Research & Development in Precision Forging of the Japan Society for Technology of Plasticity 2014 and the SME Gold Medal in 2022. Dr. Tekkaya is member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering, fellow of the International Academy for Production Engineering (CIRP) and member of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde (DGM). He was the Chair of the Editorial Committee of the CIRP Annals and the former Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Materials Processing Technology (JMPT). He published over 260 peer-reviewed papers, several books and has over 30 patents.
Professor Khemais Saanouni
Professor K. Saanouni was a distinguished professor of applied and computational mechanics at the University of Technology of Troyes (France). Prof. Saanouni published more than 300 scientific publications. He was Editor of the International Journal of Damage Mechanics (IJDM) and member of editorial board of the international journal of Material Forming (IJFO). Prof. Saanouni is a co-founder and member of the Directors of the ICDM (International Conference on Damage Mechanics) conference series since 2010. He was member of the NUMIFORM (International Conference on Numerical Methods in Metal Forming) conference series steering committee.
Professor Toshihiko Kuwabara
Dr. Toshihiko Kuwabara is professor of Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, board member of Japan Society for Technology of Plasticity (JSTP), Chair of NUMISHEET 2018, and Chair of the committee for establishing the IS for “Biaxial Tensile Testing Method Using a Cruciform Test Piece” and “Multiaxial Tube Expansion Testing Method for Sheet Metals”. Prof. Kuwabara received more than 10 awards from JSTP. He was invited to give many plenary lectures in international conferences, such as IDDRG 2012, EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON FRACTURE 2012 and NUMIFORM 2013.
Professor Fusahito Yoshida
Prof. Fusahito Yoshida is Emeritus Professor of Hiroshima University. He served as committee, head of technical committee, associated editor of Japan Society of Mechanical Engineering (JSME). Prof. Yoshida developed the Yoshida-Uemori Isotropic-kinematic hardening model to describe the Bauschinger effect and workhardening stagnation under large-strain cyclic loading. The YU model is implemented by many commercial FEA software, such as LS-DYNA, Autoform, etc and dramatically improves the springback prediction in sheet metal forming. He also proposed yield functions to model anisotropy evolution. Prof. Yoshida Chaired the AEPA 2016 in Hiroshima.
