A boundary layer analysis for the initiation of reactive shear bands

A one-dimensional model for the initiation of shear bands in a reactive material is developed, which accounts for thermal softening, strain hardening and strain-rate effects, and models the chemical reaction using an Arrhenius source term. An inhomogeneity in the heat flux is used as the stimulus fo...
