Internal Stress in a Model Elasto-Plastic Fluid

arXiv:cond-mat/0410306 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.108301

Abstract

Plastic materials can carry memory of past mechanical treatment in the form of internal stress. We introduce a natural definition of the vorticity of internal stress in a simple two-dimensional model of elasto-plastic fluids, which generates the internal stress. We demonstrate how the internal stress is induced under external loading, and how the presence of the internal stress modifies the plastic behavior.
