Recently some solids were classified as kinking
nonlinear elastic (KNE) solids because of plastic
anisotropy. The KNE solids exhibit large mechanical
hysteresis due to the reproducible growth and
shrinkage of incipient kink bands (IKBs). IKBs are
the precursor of regular kink bands.

The stress-strain curves of KNE solids can be
described by 4 parameters. In this book a microscale
model based on fully reversible dislocation motion is
proposed to relate the four parameters. A
mathematical method based on Preisach-Mayergoyz model
(P-M model) was also developed to calculate the
strain of KNE...
