Publisher's Synopsis
VISCOPLASTIC FLOW IN SOLIDS PRODUCED BYSHEAR BANDING
A complete overview of the topic of viscoplastic flow in solids produced by shear banding
This book presents novel ideas about inelastic deformation and failure of solids in a clear, concise manner. It exposes readers to information that will allow them to acquire the competence and ability to deal with up-to-date manufacturing and failure processes. It also portrays a new understanding of deformation processes. Finally, shear banding's typical mechanism becomes the active cause of viscoplastic flow and not the -passive effect.
Viscoplastic Flow in Solids Produced by Shear Banding begins by discussing the new physical model of multilevel hierarchy and the evolution of micro-shear bands. In conclusion, it examines the difficulties of applying a direct multiscale integration scheme and extends the representative volume element (RVE) concept using the general theory of the singular surfaces of the microscopic velocity field sweeping out the RVE. This book reveals a new formulation of the shear strain rate generated by the consecutive systems of shear bands in the workflow integration approach. This book:
- Presents fresh ideas about inelastic deformation and failure of materials
- Provides readers with the ability to deal with up-to-date manufacturing and failure processes
- Sheds light on the interdisciplinary view of deformation processes in solids
Viscoplastic Flow in Solids Produced by Shear Banding will appeal to researchers studying physical foundations of inelastic behaviour and failure of solid materials, dealing with analysis and numerical simulations of manufacturing forming processes. It is also an excellent resource for graduate and postgraduate students of material science and mechanical engineering faculties.
