A theory of amorphous solids undergoing large deformations, with application to polymeric glasses

TLDR
In this paper, a continuum theory for the elastic-viscoplastic deformation of amorphous solids such as polymeric and metallic glasses is proposed. But the authors do not consider the elasticity of polymeric solids and instead focus on the dependence of the Helmholtz free energy on the deformation in a thermodynamically consistent manner.

Elastic-Plastic Deformation at Finite Strains

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize a previous theory to permit arbitrary deformation histories by considering two coupled thermodynamic systems: one comprising thermo- elasticity at finite strain and the other the irreversible process of dissipation and absorption of plastic work.

Bulk Glass-Forming Metallic Alloys: Science and Technology

William L. Johnson
- 01 Oct 1999 - 
TL;DR: The MRS Medal was presented by William L. Johnson at the 1998 MRS Fall Meeting on December 2, 1998 as discussed by the authors, where Johnson received the honor for his development of bulk metallic glass-forming alloys, and the fundamental understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics that control glass formation and crystallization of glassforming liquids.
