Shear Banding in Amorphous Solids as a Nonlinear Screened Soft Mode Instability
Yang Fu, Yuliang Jin, Avanish Kumar +1
Shear banding is a well-known and widespread instability in strained solids: under external strain, the deformation localizes along a line in two dimensions or a plane in three dim…

Analytic Nonlinear Theory of Shear Banding in Amorphous Solids
Avanish Kumar, Itamar Procaccia
The aim of this paper is to offer an analytic theory of the shear banding instability in amorphous solids that are subjected to athermal quasi-static shear. To this aim we derive n…
