Search for: [Abstract = "The localization of deformation in the form of shear bands is understood as an instability in the macroscopic description of inelastic deformation. The effects of thermomechanical couplings in the development of these shear bands are analyzed. Conditions for the onset of localization when these couplings are taken into account are given both inside a body and at its boundary. These conditions are illustrated by a particular set of constitutive equations. Destabilizing effects due to couplings are underlined."]
