β¦ Synopsis
A specialized finite difference method with grid refinement and variable time steps is created to approximate the deformation velocity and the temperature in a simple model of the shearing of a thermoplastic material. A specific problem where the solution exhibits "blowup" in the adiabatic case is considered. The numerical method retains this property and is used to study the shape of the "blowup" function. The code is then used to investigate the solution in the closely related case where thermal conduction is included with a small conductivity coefficient. The computations indicate that the solution does not "blowup" in the nonadiabatic case.

A theory describing plastic deformation of granular (purely frictional) materials is presented. The theory is developed from postulates for energy dissipation and for the mode of plastic deformation. The postulates are based on some restrictions for the properties of granular materials and on a fric
## Abstract A new apparatus is described whereby the thermal behavior, including the deformation temperature, of a thermoplastic material may be obtained. The apparatus is intended to replace ASTM procedure No. D648β56 and has several advantages over that procedure. Thermal behavior of several comm
