Thermal runaway instability induced by material softening due to shear heating represents a potential mechanism for mechanical failure of viscoelastic solids. In this work we present a model based on a continuum formulation of a viscoelastic material with Arrhenius dependence of viscosity on temperature, and investigate the behavior of the thermal runaway phenomenon by analytical and numerical methods. Approximate analytical descriptions of the problem reveal that onset of thermal runaway instability is controlled by only two dimensionless combinations of physical parameters. Numerical simulations of the model independently verify these analytical results and allow a quantitative examination of the complete time evolutions of the shear stress and the spatial distributions of temperature and displacement during runaway instability. Thus we find that thermal runaway processes may well develop under nonadiabatic conditions. Moreover, nonadiabaticity of the unstable runaway mode leads to continuous and extreme localization of the strain and temperature profiles in space, demonstrating that the thermal runaway process can cause shear banding. Examples of time evolutions of the spatial distribution of the shear displacement between the interior of the shear band and the essentially nondeforming material outside are presented. Finally, a simple relation between evolution of shear stress, displacement, shear-band width and temperature rise during runaway instability is given.
When an electron emitting tip is subjected to very high electric fields, plasma forms even under ultra high vacuum conditions. This phenomenon, known as vacuum arc, causes catastrophic surface modifications and constitutes a major limiting factor not
It is known from the wave-like motion of microtubules in motility assays that the piconewton forces that motors produce can be sufficient to bend the filaments. In cellular phenomena such as cytosplasmic streaming, molecular motors translocate along
Phase change alloys have seen widespread use from rewritable optical discs to the present day interest in their use in emerging neuromorphic computing architectures. In spite of this enormous commercial interest, the physics of carriers in these mate
