Shear Localization due to Strain Softening in Side Pressed Cylinders

In this paper, shear localization due to strain softening in sidepressed cylinders, is inverstigated. Shear localization causes formation of macroscopic shear bands which can be obsserved in the metallographic cross-section. In this paper, for the first time a method is presented in which a simple two-slice model is used to study the formation of shear bands. The results obtained form this model are in perfect agreement with the results obtatained form experimental works for and micrcrostructures in Ti-6242Si alloy. &#10Keywords: shear Localiation, shear Bands, Two –Slice Model, Titanium Alloy Ti-6242Si&#10
