چکیده
We study thermomechanical deformations of a viscoplastic body deformed in simple shear. The eect of material elasticity is neglected but that of work hardening, strain-rate hardening, thermal softening, and strain-rate gradients is considered. The consideration of strain-rate gradients introduces a material characteristic length into the problem. A homogeneous solution of the governing equations is perturbed at dierent values t0 of time t, and the growth rate at time t0 of perturbations of dierent wavelengths is computed. Following Wright and Ockendon's postulate that the wavelength of the dominant instability mode with the maximum growth rate at time t0 determines the minimum spacing between shear bands, the shear band spacing is computed. It is found that for the shear band spacing to be positive, either the thermal conductivity or the material characteristic length must be positive. Approximate analytical expressions for locally adiabatic deformations of dipolar (strain-rate gradientdependent) materials indicate that the shear band spacing is proportional to the square-root of the material charateristic length, and the fourth root of the strain-rate hardening exponent. The shear band spacing increases with an increase in the strain hardening exponent and the thermal conductivity of the material. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

ÐWe analyse the development of shear bands in axisymmetric, thermomechanical deformations of a circular tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) rod impacting at normal incidence a smooth rigid target. The rod's material is modeled either as a mixture of Fe±Ni±W particles interspread randomly among the W-particles or as a homogeneous alloy. For comparison purposes we also analyse deformations of a pure W and...

-Recent studies of the initiation and propagation of shear bands using doubly or singly notched plates loaded asymmetrically have yielded valuable insight into this phenomenon. The same experiments also demonstrated that the shear banding mode of failure and a more brittle, "fracture", mode of failure can coexist in the impact-loaded specimens and transitions between the two modes were document...
