Résumé
On monte comment le frottement latéral de bandes de cisaillement contigües est à l'origine du mécanisme qui contrôle l'évolution de la déformation plastique, en état de traction. La vitesse de propagation V_p2 est le paramètre qui gouverne la fragmentation ductile ; la localisation qui conduit à cette fragmentation se révèle comme résultant des variations statistiques de la contrainte d'écoulement associées au mécanisme de frottement.

Abstract
The friction between the sides of shear bands is shown to be the source of the mechanism by which plastic deformation propagates under tensile force. The velocity of propagation, V_p1, is the material parameter which controls ductile fragmentation. The localization leading to this fragmentation is shown to result from the statistical variations of the yield strength associated with this friction mechanism.
