Characteristics of plastic flow localization autowaves

The dispersion relations for localized plastic strain autowaves are considered for some metals at the stages of easy slip and linear strain hardening. The quadratic form of this relation, the type of the dependences of the phase and group velocities of such autowaves on the wavenumber, and the quantitative relation between the characteristics of plastic flow localization wave processes and elastic wave parameters in solids being deformed are established and explained. An invariant for strain effects at micro- and macroscopic levels is introduced.
