Autowave Plasticity

<p><strong><em>Autowave Plasticity: Localization and Collective Modes</em></strong> discusses the nature of plastic flow in solids associated with the development of a localized plastic flow. Written by an authority in the field the author demonstrates how patterns of localized plastic flow are associated with autowave modes that are generated in a deformable sample and delivers a complete work on the subject. </p><p>Key Features </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>An original work on the nature of plastic flows in solids particularly metals and crystals </li> <p> </p> <li>Focuses on plastic flow as an autowave process </li> <p> </p> <li>Contains elements of theories experimental considerations and numerical modeling</li> </ul><p>This reference will help readers with creating experimental methods to observe or localize plastic flow and with the modeling of plastic flows. It is a valuable reference for graduate students and research specialists working in material science. </p>
