Shear-Transformation-Zone Theory of Linear Glassy Dynamics
We present a linearized shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of glassy dynamics in which the internal STZ transition rates are characterized by a broad distribution of activation barriers.

Objective Bedding deep cutting slopes containing weak interlayers are commonly found in slope engineering, whose stability is influenced by two key factors: The strength of the sliding zone soil and the reserved thickness of the base (the distance from ...

Modeling of temperature distribution in orthogonal cutting with dual-zone contact at rake face [PDF]
In this study, an analytical model is developed in order to calculate the temperature distribution in orthogonal cutting with dual-zone contact at the rake face. The study focuses on heat generation at the primary shear zone and at the rake face.

Continuum approach to wide shear zones in quasi-static granular matter [PDF]
Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of gravity, slow ...

An investigation into the controls of granite plutonism in the Sierra da Freita region, Northern Portugal [PDF]
The Serra da Freita region of north central Portugal was chosen for study as it displays the complex relationships between regional structure, plutonism, regional and contact metamorphism typical of this part of Iberia.

Correlations of non-affine displacements in metallic glasses through the yield transition
We study correlations of non-affine displacement during simple shear deformation of Cu-Zr bulk metallic glasses in molecular dynamics calculations. In the elastic regime, our calculations show exponential correlation with a decay length that we interpret

Analysis of Location of Villages in Relation to Rupture Zone (Case Study: North Qazvin Fault) [PDF]
This paper studies the shear zone of North Qazvin fault and investigates the location of rural settlements in this area. In selected sections, the presence of transverse valleys along the fault made it possible to investigate the evidence of shear zones ...

A shear band of finite length, formed inside a ductile material at a certain stage of a con- tinued homogeneous strain, provides a dynamic perturbation to an incident wave field, which strongly influences the dynamics of the material and affects its path

Effects of grain shape on packing and dilatancy of sheared granular materials [PDF]
Granular material exposed to shear shows a variety of unique phenomena: Reynolds dilatancy, positional order and orientational order effects may compete in the shear zone. We study granular packings consisting of macroscopic prolate, oblate and spherical
