Abstract

A simple example of adiabatic shearing of a rock layer under constant shear stress is considered in order to investigate and juxtapose two different modeling frameworks concerning strain localization and shear band thickness. The first framework is the Cauchy continuum with a rate dependent constitutive law (viscoplasticity). The second modeling framework is Cosserat elastoplasticity. Cosserat continuum is a special case of higher order continua. It is shown that the conditions for shear band triggering have a similar mathematical form, even though the starting point is different from a physical point of view.
