Abstract : We present theoretical as well as numerical results concerning a novel approach to model elasto-plastic phenomena in deformable solids based on a decomposition of the total deformation tensor into a compatible (i.e., a symmetric gradient) and an incompatible part at each point of the domain. The incompatible part aims to model the part of the deformation due to dislocation movement that eventually is responsible for the creation of plastic regions. This is a joint work with Samuel Amstutz (Ecole Polytechnique de Palaiseau, France).
