We are pleased to announce that the Twelfth Asia-Pacific Conference on Engineering Plasticity and Its Applications, AEPA 2014, will be held in Kaohsiung, in September 2014. The AEPA international conferences have been established as a world-class forum through which new intellectual ideas and technology in the field of engineering plasticity can be exchanged. The 2014 conference features Technical and Keynote Programs, the most current and relevant trends in academic and industry, and a cultural excursion program. 
 

We welcome contributions on novel topics dealing with plasticity in various disciplines such as solid mechanics, materials processing, structural analysis, impact dynamics, geo-mechanics and biomechanics. Advances in plasticity on the nano, micro and macro scales and their industrial applications, including those related to sustainable and re-manufacturing, will be of special interest at the Conference.
