Tues 24 Feb, 2004 2:15 pm 054 Physics	Dave Schaeffer Thermoplasticity, or what I did on my sabbatical Thermoplasticity is a new approach to plasticity that from the get-go is constructed so as to be consistent with thermodynamics. It also provides a very elegant way to formulate the equations of plasticity. In the lecture I will try to introduce this formalism by way of several examples. My interest in the theory derives, in part, from a belief that this formalism might provide an effective way to introduce ensembles and other statistical ideas into a derivation of continuum behavior from micromechanics. I will make some remarks to develop this thought, and I hope I can inspire others to collaborate in the challenge.
