A method for computing slip-line fields in the case of cohesionless backfills with stress discontinuity was proposed. The potential failure zone is divided into Rankine and transition zone, rigorously determined using theory plastic mechanics. are then further a series triangular slices. On basis force moment equilibrium conditions typical slice, recurrence equation lateral established. Further...

Shear localization has been observed in liquid lubricants flowing at high pressure. Two kinds have been identified: for stresscontrolled plane Couette shear at high values of Nahme No., thermal runaway can result in the appearance of a band at midplane where the temperature and shear rate become localized. Alternatively, at high pressure and high shear stress, intermittent slip can be visualize...
