NCAL: Intermediate Strain Rate Testing

The speed at which a material deforms (strain rate) often has a substantial effect on the force (stress) it can carry. The majority of mechanical testing occurs

NCAL: Plasticity Modeling

Successful modeling of the plastic (not recovered) deformation of a part of structure relies on an accurate model of the material deformation. This material
