Viscoplastic Flow in Metallic Solids Produced by Shear Banding

<p><b>A&nbsp;complete overview of the topic of&nbsp;viscoplastic&nbsp;flow&nbsp;in metallic solids&nbsp;produced by shear banding&nbsp;</b></p> <p>This book presents novel ideas about inelastic deformation and failure of the material in a clear, concise manner. It exposes readers&nbsp;to information that will allow them to acquire&nbsp;the&nbsp;competence and ability to deal with up-to-date manufacturing and failure processes.&nbsp;It also portrays an interdisciplinary&nbsp;and revolutionary&nbsp;understanding of deformation processes in solids. Shear banding’s typical mechanism&nbsp;becomes the active cause of&nbsp;viscoplastic&nbsp;flow and not the passive effect.&nbsp;</p> <p><i>Viscoplastic&nbsp;Flow in Metallic Solids Produced by Shear&nbsp;Banding</i>&nbsp;begins with discussing&nbsp;the&nbsp;new physical model of multilevel hierarchy and evolution of micro-shear bands.&nbsp;It then covers the physical motivation and heuristic foundations of theoretical description&nbsp;concerning&nbsp;known results in the literature.&nbsp;It examines the difficulties&nbsp;of applying&nbsp;a direct multiscale integration scheme across&nbsp;the&nbsp;scales. It also presents&nbsp;an extension of the representative volume element (RVE) concept&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;general&nbsp;theory of propagating the singular surfaces of the&nbsp;microscopic velocity field sweeping the RVE.&nbsp;It also reveals a&nbsp;new formulation of the description of&nbsp;the shear strain rate generated by the multilevel hierarchy of shear bands in the workflow integration approach, in which information from the&nbsp;simulation at different levels flows.&nbsp;This book:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Presents&nbsp;fresh ideas about inelastic deformation and failure of materials&nbsp;</li> <li>Provides readers with the competence and ability to deal with up-to-date manufacturing and failure processes&nbsp;</li> <li>Sheds&nbsp;light on the interdisciplinary revolution in&nbsp;the&nbsp;recent understanding of deformation processes in solids&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><i>Viscoplastic&nbsp;Flow in Metallic Solids Produced by Shear&nbsp;Banding</i>&nbsp;will appeal to researchers studying physical foundations of inelastic deformation of materials and&nbsp;dealing with numerical simulations of manufacturing processes.&nbsp;It is also an excellent&nbsp;resource for graduate and postgraduate students of material science and mechanical engineering faculties.&nbsp;</p>
