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, $K/\hat{I}¼$, where $K$ and $\hat{I}¼$ are the compression and shear moduli. We s…
