Consideration is given to a non-convex variational model for a shear experiment in the framework of single-crystal linearised plasticity with infinite cross-hardening. The rectangular shear sample is clamped at each end, and is subjected to…

All yield criteria that determine the onset of plastic deformation in crystalline materials must be invariant under the inversion symmetry associated with a simultaneous change of sign of the slip direction and the slip plane normal. We…

Experimental measurements of the response of a two dimensional system of plastic beads subjected to steady shear are reported. The beads float at the surface of a fluid substrate and are subjected to a slow, steady-shear in a Couette…

Continuum models of plasticity fail to capture the richness of microstructural evolution because the continuum is a homogeneous construction. The present study shows that an alternative way is available at the mesoscale in the form of truly…

The plasticity transition at the yield strength of a crystal typically signifies the tendency of dislocation defects towards relatively unrestricted motion. For an isolated dislocation the motion is in the slip plane with velocity…

We study the growth of slip line in a plastically deforming crystal by numerical simulation of a double-ended pile-up model with a dislocation source at one end, and an absorbing wall at the other end. In presence of defects, the pile-up…
