Abstract
We review recent theories of non-classical, structured deformations and integral representations for their Helmholtz free energy. Energy minimization for a body undergoing shearing at two different length scales and for a bar experiencing both smooth extension and macroscopic fracture are determined, and applications to the shearing of single crystals and to the cohesive fracture of solids are discussed. Yield, hysteresis, and the associated dissipation in two-level shears are shown to arise from instabilities at the microlevel, and the dicothomy between brittle and ductile fracture is related precisely to a critical length of a barFile in questo prodotto:
