Localized deformation in the form of narrow shear bands are often
observed to develop after larger plastic deformations in metals,
polymers and powders. Shear bands, being a form of large plastic
deformation, are usually the precursors of ductile fracture.
Therefore, an improved knowledge of localized deformation,
including instability, shear bands, damage and fracture, play a
particularly significant role in a wide variety of engineering
topics. One example is material processing. Since the 1970s shear
banding has been extensively studied by mechanical and
metallurgical engineers. There is a pressing requirement in physics
and engineering to summarize the knowledge gained and to assist
students and researchers to apply this knowledge in their
respective areas of technology. This book is an invaluable
reference source on the topic of adiabatic shear localization. It
provides a systematic description of various aspects of adiabatic
shear banding, and the various case studies describe the ways in
which the knowledge of adiabatic shear localization can be used in
several applications.In this way, readers can easily follow the
different approaches and transfer concepts and techniques to help
solve the problems they encounter in their own fields of interest.

This book introduces a trans-scale framework necessary for the
physical understanding of breakdown behaviors and presents some new
paradigm to clarify the mechanisms underlying the trans-scale
processes. The book, which is based on the interaction of mechanics
and statistical physics, will help to deepen the understanding of
how microdamage induces disaster and benefit the forecasting of the
occurrence of catastrophic rupture. It offers notes and problems in
each part as interesting background and illustrative exercises.
Readers of the book would be graduate students, researchers,
engineers working on civil, mechanical and geo-engineering, etc.
However, people with various background but interested in disaster
reduction and forecasting, like applied physics, geophysics,
seismology, etc., may also be interested in the book.
Adiabatic shear localization is a mode of failure that occurs in
dynamic loading. It is characterized by thermal softening occurring
over a very narrow region of a material and is usually a precursor
to ductile fracture and catastrophic failure. This reference source
is the revised and updated version of the first detailed study of
the mechanics and modes of adiabatic shear localization in solids.
Building on the success of the first edition, the book provides a
systematic description of a number of aspects of adiabatic shear
banding. The concepts and techniques described in this work can
usefully be applied to solve a multitude of problems encountered by
those investigating fracture and damage in materials, impact
dynamics, metal working and other areas. Specific chapters focus on
energetic materials, polymers, bulk metal glasses, and the
mathematics of shear banding as well as the numerical modeling of
them. With its detailed coverage of the subject, this book is of
great interest to academics and researchers into materials
performance as well as professionals.
