On the possibility of invoking wave-particle dualism by addressing localized deformation

TL;DR

This paper explores the application of the deBroglie relation to localized plastic deformation, proposing a hypothetical quasiparticle to describe wave-like behavior in flow localization.

Contribution

It introduces a novel concept of a quasiparticle linked to flow localization, defining its mass and area, to explain wave-particle duality in plastic deformation.

Findings

Localization of plastic deformation can be modeled by a quasiparticle.

The mass and area of the quasiparticle are quantitatively defined.

Wave processes are integral to understanding flow localization.

Abstract

The deBroglie relation is applied to the analysis of auto-wave processes of localized plastic flow in various materials and the results obtained are considered. It is found that the localization of plastic deformation can be conveniently addressed by invoking a hypothetical quasi-particle conjugated with the wave process of flow localization. The mass of the quasiparticle and the area of its localization have been defined.
