Computer modelling of plastic deformation and fracture in heterogeneous systems

The results from a computational investigation of plastic deformation and fracture in austenitic steel are presented. A lattice model representing the continuum mechanical behaviour in three-dimensions is developed. The model is shown to recover the governing equations for continuum elasticity theor...
