Abstract

For a two dimensional model of shear band formation in thermoviscoplastic solids, it is shown that the thermal energy generated during the formation process remains highly localized. This result is established by obtaining a bound on the temperature that decays exponentially along the direction perpendicular to the band, with a rate that decreases in time. The bound is derived by using maximum principles for second-order nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations.
