Summary

Depending on the application, shear bands may be harmful or beneficial, but to be controlled, they must first be understood. This book establishes the mathematical setting within which shear bands may be studied and uses well established asymptotic techniques to obtain scaling laws that describe major aspects of the formation and morphology of shear bands.
