Thermal Effects in the Shear-Transformation-Zone Theory of Amorphous Plasticity: Comparisons to Metallic Glass Data
M. L. Falk, J. S. Langer, L. Pechenik
We extend our earlier shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity to include the effects of thermally assisted molecular rearrangements. This version of our theo…

Dynamics of Shear-Transformation Zones in Amorphous Plasticity: Energetic Constraints in a Minimal Theory
J. S. Langer, L. Pechenik
We use energetic considerations to deduce the form of a previously uncertain coupling term in the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of plastic deformation in amorphous solids.…
