We study the instability to necking of an initially cylindrical filament of soft glassy material subject to extensional stretching. By numerical simulation of the soft glassy rheology model and a simplified fluidity model, and by analytical predictions within a highly generic toy description, we show that the mode of instability is set by the age of the sample relative to the inverse of the app...

A weakly nonlinear analysis is conducted for localized necking of a hyperelastic solid cylinder under axial stretching based on the exact theory elasticity. The amplitude equation derived shown to be consistent with one-dimensional model recently proposed by Audoly and Hutchinson (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 97, 2016, 68–91). It that results infinite-length approximation are sufficiently accurate eve...

We provide an analytic derivation of the bifurcation conditions for localized bulging in inflated hyperelastic tube arbitrary wall thickness and axisymmetric necking a sheet under equibiaxial stretching. It has previously been shown numerically that condition former problem is equivalent to vanishing Jacobian determinant internal pressure P resultant axial force N, with each them viewed as func...

We use the shear transformation zone (STZ) theory of dynamic plasticity to study the necking instability in a two-dimensional strip of amorphous solid. Our Eulerian description of large-scale deformation allows us to follow the instability far into the nonlinear regime. We find a strong rate dependence; the higher the applied strain rate, the further the strip extends before the onset of instab...

A weighted-average method for determining uniaxial, true tensile stress vs. strain relation after necking is presented for strip shaped samples. The method requires identification of a lower and an upper bound for the true stress-strain function after necking and expresses the true stress-strain relation as the weighted average of these two bounds. The weight factor is determined iteratively by...

Hindu Kush subduction zone produces large intermediate-depth earthquakes within a small volume every 10–15 years. Here we study the last three M ≥ 7 events within the cluster and find complex and diverse rupture processes. However, their main subevents appear to recur on the same fault patch, dipping 70° to the south. This recurrence requires an average of 9.6 cm/yr slip rate on the patch, much...

Overview: Many of the icy satellites in our solar system include young, highly tectonized terrains. Two of the most prominent examples of such surfaces are Ganymede's grooved terrain and Enceladus' south polar tiger stripes, both of which appear to have ages of less than 1 Ga [1, 2]. While cryovolcanism likely has occurred and is occurring on these bodies, the lack of obvious cryovolcanic struc...

We present in situ transmission electron microscope tensile tests on focused ion beam fabricated single and multiple slip oriented Cu tensile samples with thicknesses in the range of 100-200 nm. Both crystal orientations fail by localized shear. While failure occurs after a few percent plastic strain and limited hardening in the single slip case, the multiple slip samples exhibit extended homog...

The experimental detection of localized necking is an important issue in sheet metal forming. Today, the most common and extended techniques are strain-based methods using digital image correlation (DIC). present work discuses a thermal methodology to detect onset metals based on analysis temperature gradient infrared thermography (DIT). A series tensile tests H240LA-O3 high-strength steel 1.2m...
