Plastic flow and localization in an amorphous material: what do experiments tell us ?
Résumé
We present a thorough study of the plastic response of a granular material progressively loaded. We study experimentally the evolution of the plastic field from a homogeneous one to an heterogeneous one and its fluctuations in term of incremental strain. We show that the plastic field can be decompose in two components evolving on two decoupled strain increment scales. We argue that the slowly varying part of the field can be identified to the so-called fluidity field introduced in recently to interpret the rheological behaviour of amorphous materials.
