Strain localization and shear band propagation in ductile materials

A model of a shear band as a zero-thickness nonlinear interface is proposed and tested using finite element simulations. An imperfection approach is used in this model where a shear band, that is assumed to lie in a ductile matrix material (obeying von Mises plasticity with linear hardening), is pre...
