A continuum theory of amorphous solids undergoing large deformations, with application to polymeric glasses
This paper summarizes a recently developed continuum theory for the elastic-viscoplastic deformation of amorphous solids such as polymeric and metallic glasses. Introducing an internal-state variable that represents the local free-volume associated with certain metastable states, we are able to capt...
