\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eConstitutive Modeling of Engineering Materials\u003c/i\u003e provides an extensive theoretical overview of elastic, plastic, damage, and fracture models, giving readers the foundational knowledge needed to successfully apply them to and solve common engineering material problems. Particular attention is given to inverse analysis, parameter identification, and the numerical implementation of models with the finite element method. Application in practice is discussed in detail, showing examples of working computer programs for simple constitutive behaviors. Examples explore the important components of material modeling which form the building blocks of any complex constitutive behavior. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses complex behaviors in a wide range of materials, from polymers, to metals and shape memory alloys\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers constitutive models with both small and large deformations\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides detailed examples of computer implementations for material models\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e
