Challenges in Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials, Volume 2 of the Proceedings of the 2019 SEM Annual Conference& Exposition on Experimental and Applied Mechanics, the second volume of six from the Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Experimental Mechanics, including papers in the following general technical research areas:

• Characterization Across Length Scales
• Extreme Conditions & Environmental Effects
• Soft Materials and Biomaterials
• Damage, Fatigue and Fracture
• Structure, Function and Performance
• Rate Effects in Elastomers
• Viscoelasticity & Viscoplasticity
• Research in Progress
