Abstract
Confined layered structures in layer-parallel compression exhibit kink band deformation that has an associated severe initial instability. However, once the first kink band forms the system restabilizes and the bands then propagate in two mechanisms: band broadening and band progression. Previous work on triggering the initial instability and band broadening is now extended to include band progression. A new model for this propagation mechanism that successfully accounts for the modulating restabilizing response is presented and quantitative comparisons with the physical experiments yield excellent results.
