Central in this volume of the 6th International Colloquium on Ancient Greek Linguistics is the question how cohesion is created in Ancient Greek texts. The contributions to the volume either discuss the various cohesive devices that occur in a specific text or focus on the use and function of a particular cohesion device in a larger corpus. Apart from the use of pronomina and particles, less standard cohesive devices, like the use of tense and the grammatical form of complements, are taken into consideration. The result is a volume that gives a good impression of recent research in the field of Greek linguistics, not only of interest for classical scholars, but also for general linguists interested in discourse coherence cnd cohesion. Contributors include: Rutger J. Allan, Stéphanie J. Bakker, Louis Basset, Anna Bonifazi, Annemieke Drummen, Marietje (A.M.) van Erp Taalman Kip, Coulter H. George, Luuk Huitink, Sander Orriens, Annemieke van der Plaat, Antonio Revuelta, Albert Rijksbaron and Gerry C. Wakker.

This book contains geometrical and thermodynamical issues indispensable for development of a rational theory of thermoviscoplasticity. Geometrical picture of coupled thermomagnetomechanical histories of damaged solids is built both by means of Kroener's incompatibility approach as well by Eshelbian implanting eigenstrains. Duality of Euclidean anholonomic and non-Euclidean natural state space is also outlined in this book. Damaged inelastic materials of differential type, discrete and infinitesimal memory are obtained from principle of thermo-inelastic memory. Issue of plastic spin is considered. Postulate of minimal plastic work and corresponding non-associativity 4-tensor are then used to show whether associativity of flow rule holds. Postulates of Drucker, Iliushin and Hill are discussed. Thermodynamics of inelasticity is extensively discussed in classical, rational, extended and endochronic version with account to statistical thermodynamics. A non-steady aging is used in endochronic thermodynamics to cover creep-pasticity coupled inelastic histories. Multiaxial dynamic experiments with cylindrical, ``bichierino'' and cruciform specimen from austenitic stainless steels are analyzed. Quasi-rate independence and Rabotnov's plastic delay is combined with tensor representation. Inelastic ferromagnetics are treated by means of extended as well endochronic thermodynamics. For low cycle fatigue the experimentally observed displacement of magnetic induction history with respect to stress history is analyzed. Self consistent method applied to inelastic polycrystals is based on constrained micro-rotations and free meso-rotations. A special attention is devoted to slight disorder of polycrystal grains. The theory is confronted with classical J2-theory. Different inelastic multiaxial stress histories are analyzed and corresponding active slip systems determined. For numerical results micro quasi rate independence and relaxed Taylor's model are used. The theory of inelastic micromorphic polycrystals with couple stresses needs a very small number of necessary material constants. Nonproportionality of strain history as well as intergranular continuity are related to antisymmetry of stress tensor. Key topics: * Includes a detailed description of the geometry of thermo-deformation with local evolving natural state configuration * Provides a comparative review of various models of thermodynamics (classical, rational, endochronic, statistical) with special approach to inelastic high speed histories * Introduces quasi-rate independence and its application to plastic waves, ratcheting, and diffuse localization * Explores the sensor representation approach to thermo-inelastic coupled fields connected to a generalized associativity of flow rule as well as a comparison with the J2-approach * Examines micromechanics based on micro grain approach leading to reduced number of material constants * Provides biaxial cruciform specimen Hopkinson bar results * Reexamines the Hill’s yield function for nonproportional stress-thermo-strain histories This book is intended for material science experts and professionals interested in impact experiments, continuum mechanics researchers, engineers in research institutes and graduate and Phd students aiming to apply FEM to calculate strength of structures at time varying thermo-mechanical excitations.

Many important industrial applications incline toward better understanding of the constitutive properties of matter. Nowadays, the development of measurement possibilities, even in nanoscale, allows for multiscale formulations that drive to the more sophisticated models used in continuum mechanics. These phenomenological models are particularly important and useful for solutions of very concrete initial boundary value problems. Our interests are focused mainly on detailed descriptions of material behavior that depend not only on simple stress-strain relationships but also includes the strong influence of loading type, which introduces temperature, strain rate dependence, fracture, etc. Understanding these physics phenomena is of fundamental importance for successful and responsible computations. In particular, using the popular commercial programs requires deep understanding of constitutive formulations and their restrictions. These lectures are addressed to industrial users who are responsible for making crucial decisions in design, as well as, to young scientists who work on new models that describe the behavior of materials which also account the new influences and reflect the complexity of the material behavior. At the end, let me express my gratitude to the lecturers of the CISM course No. 328 on “Advances in Constitutive Relations Applied in Computer Codes”, held in Udine in July 2007, who finally prepared the included materials. Unfortunately, during the preparation and collecting papers for this book, our friend and colleague Prof. Janusz R. Klepaczko passed away. This is a very big loss for the society of mechanics.
