Abstract
We present a version of soft glassy rheology that includes thermalized strain degrees of freedom. It fully specifies systems' strain-history-dependent positions on their energy landscapes and therefore allows for quantitative analysis of their heterogeneous yielding dynamics and nonequilibrium deformation thermodynamics. As a demonstration of the method, we illustrate the very different characteristics of fully thermal and nearly athermal plasticity by comparing results for thermalized and nonthermalized plastic flow.
