Finite compressibility and strain hardening in elasto-plastic models of amorphous matter

A. Elgailani, D. Vandembroucq, C. E. Maloney

We study a mesoscopic elasto-plastic model of amorphous matter with varying dimensionless compression modulus, $K/\mu$, where $K$ and $\mu$ are the compression and shear moduli. We stu…
