Progress toward a first-principles theory of plasticity and work-hardening is currently impeded by an insufficient picture of dislocation kinetics (the dynamic effect of driving forces in a given dislocation theory). This is because present…
A rigid-plastic Cosserat model has been used to study dense, fully developed flow of granular materials through a vertical channel. Frictional models based on the classical continuum do not predict the occurrence of shear layers, at…

Cosserat theory of elasticity is a generalization of classical elasticity that allows for asymmetry in the stress tensor by taking into account micropolar rotations in the medium. The equations involve a rotation field and associated…
