Shear localisation during deformation of reactive thermo-visco-elastic-plastic materials

A one-dimensional model for the initiation of shear bands in a reactive material is developed, with an Arrhenius source term to model the chemical reaction occurring in the band. An inhomogeneity in the heat flux is used as the stimulus for localised plastic deformation, and the problem is treated a...
