Continuity in the Plastic Strain Rate and its Influence on Texture Evolution

Submitted by Justin C. Mach on

Classical plasticity models evolve state variables in a spatially independent manner through (local) ordinary differen- 

tial equations, such as in the update of the rotation field in crystal plasticity. A continuity condition is derived for the 

lattice rotation field from a conservation law for Burgers vector content—a consequence of an averaged field theory 

of dislocation mechanics. This results in a nonlocal evolution equation for the lattice rotation field. The continuity
